Even though my top and bottom margins are set to the default measurements, my
cursor still appears right at the very top of the page rather than a couple
of inches down, and when I'm typing the pages are only separated by a thick
black line instead of the cursor moving down on to a "new sheet".

Although the "ruler" is showing on the left of the page (as it does at the
top of the page for the left and right indent) I am unable to drag the marker
down so that the cursor shows in the right place. The left and right indent
setting is absolutely fine. It was just like this one day when I opened word
and I've been unable to fix it!

I've noticed you had the same problem as I have now. You seem to have had no
replies at the page, but perhaps you found a solution elsewhere - if so,
would you mind sharing it?
