MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2007Margin-type problem
My Microsoft Word 2007 randomly started defaulting the top margin to about the 4 inch level. It is literally half way down the page, and will not allow me to move up any further. I've attempted to change my margins, and they say that they are 1inch all around. Help!?!?! Try turning on your hidden characters (Home Tab, Paragraph Group, Show/Hide) or CTRL+SHIFT+* to toggle them on. See if you are not pushing around some empty paragraphs. Another thought that I have is that the Page Layout is set to Centered or Justified instead of Top. Go to the Page Layout Tab and click the dialog launcher (square in right corner) of the Page Setup Group. Click into the Layout tab of the Page Setup dialog box, and check to make sure that the Vertical Page Alignment is set to Top.

I'm a college student with a week of two papers to write and a Word that wouldn't work. You were correct in your thinking that it was the page setup. Mine defaults to center...so now I need to change that. But thank you for your advice. Something so simple and obvious and yet I didn't have it correct.

As for changing the Default - open a blank document, set your margins and change to the Top. In that same dialog box, in the lower left corner is a default button, that when clicked will change the margins, and other options in the entire dialog box to the standard for all future documents. (It modifies the Normal.dotm template.)
