Tools, Options, Compatibility tab (or Word Options, Advanced, Compatibility)
and select the required Suppress Space options. This will suppress the extra
space following page breaks but not following section breaks, so the space
at the top of the first page will not be suppressed.

Is there any way to set up word such that it will not add space before
a paragraph at the top of a page?

I would like a heading to have space above to separate it from the
text.

However, this space is unnecessary when the heading occurs at the
start of a page and looks funny not starting at the top of the page.
