Somehow a setting got changed and now everytime I open a new document the
cursor starts at the bottom and moves towards the top when you hit enter. How do I get it back to top left like normal? Thanks. |

I don't know what to tell you. There's something amiss with your page layout. The right margin message may or may not be related to the Vertical Alignment selection. Word may simply be detecting the margin setting error because you're attempting to update the page layout in the first place. If you want to return to the "out-of-the-box" settings, you could locate and rename your Normal.dot file to Normaldot.backup (or just delete the file, if you don't need to save any customizations) and let Word recreate Normal.dot when you start and end your next session.

The "increasing right margin" error message has nothing (much) to do with
the alignment. Close the Page Setup dialog for now and go to Format | Columns. Click on the preview picture for One (even if 1 column is already selected), then OK. That should do the trick. If your cursor is still at the bottom, you should now be able to go back to Page Setup and set the vertical alignment to Top. -- Suzanne S.
