Default Can't get margin at top and bottom of page

When I open a new Doc in Word, the cursor is right up at the top edge of the page. I've set the margins for 2.54 cm all round, but it doesn't make any difference. I can't slide the side rulers down, the only way I can get a margin at the top or bottom, is to press enter a few times, but that is not ideal when you're doing a long document. I've attached a screenshot. Any ideas?

You have the so-called white space hidden. See http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/WhiteSpace.htm.

Excellent. It was "hover the mouse over the line between pages until the mouse pointer changes to a double arrow ... and double click" that fixed it. Who knew ?????

Thanks a lot
