Problem with MS Word 2003 Margins

    When I start a new document, the cursor positions itself right at the top
    edge of the page. My margins are set correctly top & bottom 2.54cm, page
    size to letter.
    This has just started happening, no problems before this.
    Any suggestions on how to get the cursor to start at the margin set.
    TIA

    Find and delete normal.dot(hidden file) it will be recreated, hopefully
    correctly.

    Missing Margins

    I had this problem for a while and it after much time I discovered this issue is not related to normal.dot. If you are having this problem, you are obviously viewing the document from "Print View". To get your top and bottom margins back into print view, select Tools, Options. Select the "View" tab and check the box labeled "White Spaces Between Pages (Print View Only)" and this should resolve the issue.

    *** Bingo, rp420 ***

    When I could tolerate the top-edge madness no more and refused to [Enter] down manually an inch even one more time, I first went to normal.dot which had correct margins in print view.

    Just in case, I saved a backup (secretly wishing to name it FUBAR.dot), then tried resetting margins on normal.dot. This failed utterly and without mercy, thus a quick Google brought me here.

    Your solution worked perfectly. Many thanks for your tireless effort in finding the fix.

    :adore:
