In Word 2003 SP3 when a new document is opened the cursor appears at the very 
top of the page, above the top margin. I've checked the page layout and it is 
correct - Top margin 2.54cm - but the odd thing is that if I "View - Headers 
& Footers" the cursor now jumps to its correct place. Is there a way to 
prevent this from happening as the machine in question is used for teaching 
absolute beginners who are confused by this odd behaviour.
