I had microsoft office 2000 and JUST upgraded to office student 2003. Before
I had the problem of when I opened word, the cursor would start half way down
the page and I couldnt get it to normal unless I opened another document,
deleted what was on the document, then saved it as something else. Can anyone
help me get the cursor back up to where its sopposed to be when word is
opened?

THANKS ALOT IF YOU CAN OFFER HELP,
jcll2002

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the vertical alignment is
set to Top and not Center. If you are having this problem with all new
documents, open a blank document and make this change in Page Setup *and no
others*, then click Default... and answer Yes.

Thanks... It worked. Now, what is the standard number of inches that the
cursor is sopposed to be at, vertically? 1 inch?

Thanks again.

If your top margin is the standard 1", then the status bar will (usually)
show 1" when you are at the top of the page. The exception is that if you
add space to the Header to push to top of the document down, the status bar
will still show 1" in Normal view but the correct measurement (say 2.5") in
Print Layout view.
