    Whenever I open up Word and/or a new document, my cursor is in the wrong start place and I have to press enter twice to get it to where I want to be. I took a print screen of what I'm talking about:

    Does anyone know how to put it back into the default setting or how to change it, so I can get it to the place where I want it.

    It just looks like you don't have vertical margins set. Pull the ruler down on the left side.

    I tired to do that. It's not letting me move it.

    I look at a document in print preview and it looks like the margins are just fine, it's just displaying the page without that inch, inch-and-a-half of space at the top (that I like).

    Check the view you're using. I haven't used Office 2K7, but it's typically a "web" view or something that will make things look strange like that.

    You know when you're searching the web for a solution to a problem, and it's quite frustrating when you find other people with the same problem and no solution posted? My cursor was "too high", and I found this page with no solution! I would recommend checking http://www.pcdoctor-guide.com/wordpress/?p=1319 - the answer is embarrassingly simple!
