Whenever I start Word 2003 the cursor is at the upper left corner - (at least almost) 0 cm from the top - and, therefore, in the header field, showing the blank page for a new document in print view.
To get the normal print view I am used to from earlier versions of MS Office I have to either choose "Show header and footer" and then click close, or I have to insert page numbers (anew, since they are actually there already, see below). Then the cursor is in the upper left corner of the text field (and no more in the upper left corner of the paper), 2 cm below the top - as it should.
I have set normal.dot for the page layout I want, which includes 2 cm margin at the top AND page numbering, and after choosing "Show header and footer" and closing it, the blank start page in print view appears as it should, with the settings stored in normal.dot - with page numbers showing and with the 2 cm margin at the top.
It was OK in the beginning, but then for some silly reason I under Tools > Options > Compatibility > Options clicked "Default", and after that this annoying start page view appears each time I start Word.
Whatever I tried didn't return the view to the normal one. Why is it and what can I do?
Thankful for your help
