I tried both making the before and after paragraph setting and then creating the sample, and also creating the sample, highlighting it, and then changing the after paragraph setting.
Before making the somewhat scary step, with some relearning, of deleting Word2010 and reinstalling it from the original disk, I wanted to explore any other possibilities. The Office 2010 disks came from the IT department at California State University - Fullerton a couple years ago and, up to now, have behaved as expected - tho I use only a few features. Altho they supplied the disks they state that they will not support them except for students - and I am in their senior program.

Do
not uninstall Word 2010 and reinstall. This will not make matters better.
Try renaming your normal.dotm template to normalold.dotm with Word closed and reopening Word. Then open your document and see what you get. If this works, something in your normal template is corrupted or broken. If it doesn't, close Word and delete the new normal.dotm template and rename normalold.dotm to normal.dot.
(That will put you back where you started.)
You will find your normal template in your user templates folder. The default location for that in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
