I am using Office 2003 running XP-pro OS for about a year, then the other day
Word ignored the top & bottom margin settings of one inch in page setup.
Previous written documents display (page width & whole page mode) and print
correctly. I de-installed and reinstalled Office, loaded updates from MS
Office site but I still have the same problem -- first line is at the top of
the page.

You have inadvertently chosen to _not_ display 'white space' at the
top/bottom of the page.

Got to ToolsOptionsView and put a check in the White Space Between Pages
checkbox... or move the pointer to the top/bottom edge of a page & click when
the 'Show White Space' tip appears. That's probably how it got turned off in
the first place.
