If the problem is fixed, don't worry about what the defaults should be.
You can restore most of Word's default settings by closing Word,
renaming the normal.dot global template file to normal.old (or some
other filename of your choice), and restarting Word. Word will
automatically create a new normal.dot containing the default settings.
I had the same problem, and the suggestion about White Space Between Pages
seems to have fixed it, however I find it interesting that before applying
that fix I discovered that the proper top margin was displayed if I told
Word to show headers & footers then closed the headers & footers.
I had tried to delete my Normal.dot, that did not help! We will see if
checking the white space box fixes it after restarting Word.

Replacing normal.dot will not help with this issue as the setting is stored
in the registry. It is a toggle setting that is all too easily activated. It
came as a shock when I activated it accidentally by clicking the space at
the top of the page. See http://www.gmayor.com/white_space.htm
