Hello,

All of a sudden my Word 2003 started putting the cursor at the very top of
the page when I open a new document. It doesn't do this when I open an old
document. I have made sure that a top margin is set, and I have seen that I
can bring it back to normal behavior by opening "Headers & Footers" and then
closing it again.

I even completely reinstalled Word, and that fixed the problem for a while,
but now it is doing the same thing.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? The cursor simply
starts at the very top of the page, showing no margin.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
