In Windows XP, in MS Word, the cursor is at the very top of the page when it opens. It does not show the 1" margin at the top of the page, it's llike at the edege of the page. What should I do to correct the problem?

Put a checkmark beside Showwhitespace between pages in Print Layout view and click OK in the lower right to accept the changes.
