Hi,

When I am typing in Word ( I recently got a brand new computer with a
new MS Office system), the type appears on my screen at the very top
of the page with no margin. The default margins are set to 1.0 and
no matter how I view it, whether in Print layout or Normal, the text
is still at the very top of the page. When I print out, the margins
are there as they should be, but not in the view mode. I have
already created a new normal.dot template which fixed another
problem, but not this one. Can you help?

Thank you!
