word opens with cursor at the very top of the page

[Craig]

When I open Word, the page appears with the cursor at the very top of the
page in print layout view. It seems there is no 'greyed-out' area on the
vertical ruler. Old Word documents still open correctly, with a few
centimetres of top margin showing -- the way I prefer!
I suspect it's some sort of template problem, but I can't solve it.
Can anyone help?
Thankyou,
Craig.
