Text in header space

[Bad Wind]

When I open a new document, the text cursor is located in the header space,
and when I start writing the text takes up this location.

I have to View Header and then close it to force the text down to the
correct location on the page.

I have deleted the Normal.dot file and this made no difference.

It sounds very likely that your problem is that described at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm. If you are working in
Print Layout view and do not see a broken-line border marked "Header,"
accompanied by the Header and Footer toolbar, then you are not really in the
header pane.

Thanks for both replies. I am now back to "normal".

I can now see how easy it is to accidentally enable/disable this feature by
clicking in the grey space.
