When I open up a new file for Word, my cursor starts in the middle of the
page. The only way to get the cursor to the top of the page is to hit my
"Enter" key to push the cursor up. Help.

G'Day Wayne,

Somehow you have saved the NORMAL template (which should be
blank) with some sort of text in it.

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, change the vertical alignment to Top, then
click Default... and answer yes.
