Default cursor postion at start up in MS word 2003

I have the latest version of MS Word 2003 and when I start a new document the
cursor is flashing at the top of the page as if it was in a header box but it
is not. The page set up is set to default and irrespective of what distance
you tell the cursor to be at when opening a new doc it is always at the top
of the page. To get over the problem I click on view headers & footers and
then click cancel then the cursor returns to its default position. It is so
frustrating.

Any ideas?

Try opening Word, placing your cursor at the very top of the page (tooltip
should say "Show White Space" and show an up and down arrow), then click
your mouse. Close Word. Re-open Word. Did that fix it?
