When I open a new document, the margins for the header do not appear and the
cursor is at the very top of the page. To get the header to appear, I must
open the header, then close it down. THe cursor then appears "under" the
space for the header. How do I get the document to open with a header already
in place?

Tools Options, on the View tab under Print and Web layout options check
"White space between pages"

Move the mouse to the top edge of the page, it will say show or hide white
space. Just click here to toggle between the two. Sometime when scrolling,
the mouse just goes over the edge at this point and that's how we suddently
lose the white space. Hope this helps explain how you lost the space in the
first place.
