Default word opens with cursor at the very top of the page

When I open Word, the page appears with the cursor at the very top of the
page in print layout view. It seems there is no 'greyed-out' area on the
vertical ruler. Old Word documents still open correctly, with a few
centimetres of top margin showing -- the way I prefer!
I suspect it's some sort of template problem, but I can't solve it.
Can anyone help?
Thankyou,
Craig.

For Word 2007:
Show White Space
1. Move mouse to the top of the page until double arrow appears
2. Double-click to show white space.
3. Close Document.
Test
4. Exit Word
5. Reopen Word. ||
