View is all messed up

Greetings all,
For some reason, my cursor is now appearing at the very first line on
the page, i.e. line #1, no matter what the margin is set. I don't
know what caused this.

What is even more strange, is that when it prints, the text prints
correctly, i.e. at the first line based on the margin.
This is rather difficult to explain, but imagine that the cursor is
almost off the top of the screen.
TIA,
Jim

This is Word 2002, right? You have hidden the white space between pages.
Hover your mouse over the top of the screen. When it turns to a two-pointed
arrow with the ScreenTip "Show White Space," click and you will get your
margins back.

Suzanne, you are correct. Thanks so much. How did I change this?

Suzanne,
I've been using word since version 2.0 and I've never run across this.
Again, thanks so much for your help.

It's new in Word 2002.
