Microsoft word 2003 --Layout Issue??

by davyg1 Feb 19, 2008 3:29AM PST

Every time i open Microsoft word 2003 on windows XP. When i go to start typing a new document the text starts at the bottom of the page opposed to the normal top of the page. This is really frustrating. Is there a setting i can change to rectify this???

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Dave

Your Normal.dot file has something extra in it.
