Default cursor location

Probably you have centered alignment applied to the empty paragraph
mark in the Normal.dotm template. With the cursor in that empty
paragraph, right-click and choose Paragraph to open the dialog. Change
the alignment to Left, click the Default button at the bottom of the
dialog, and confirm the change.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for a
couple of other ways to fix it.

Using Word 2007. When I first click on Word the blank page comes up with
the cursor in the top center of the page. Why is this, and how can I
make it appear on the left margin to begin a document?

thanks
