When I open up Word, my first line starts at the very top of the page
(literally), rather than starting at the margin points. The lefthand ruler is
also not visible, just the top ruler. If I click on "page setup," "layout"
tab, the "borders" button, "okay," then my ruler pops back up on the left
side and my cursor starts at the actual margin points and not the top of my
screen. Basically, the top and bottom margins are none visible on the page,
only when the document prints. How do I set Word up to stop doing that
everytime I open a new document?
