A couple of days ago I noticed that when I open a new Word document (in page
layout), my cursor appears at the very top of the page, as though there was
zero top margin, or no header space. Turns out that the margin is fine, and
the only way to make the page appear normally is to go to View>Header and
Footer, then close the header, and then page appears as normal. Anyone know
what's going on?
