One month ago I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003. Everything was
running smoothly up until about a week ago. All of a sudden, I noticed that
when I started Word 2003, the opening blank document would look "clipped" in
Print Layout view. By that I mean that it looked as though the top 25% of the
page had been clipped off and the resulting page looked shorter. I've found
that the only way to make it look normal is to select View Header and
Footer and then immediately close the Header and Footer toolbar. When I do
that the page reverts to its normal layout.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

In Word, click on Tools | Options | View | check the "White space
between pages" box | OK.
