One: You are in the wrong news group. Try the Office news groups
Two: You should use the MENU line to select VIEW and choose "Print Layout"
Three: You should go to the MENU line to select TOOLS, then OPTIONS and in the VIEW tab make sure
there is a check mark in the box for "Show white spaces between pages".

Change View to your preferred setting, probably "Print Layout". Try a
Word or Office group for more focused results.

Control Panel\Mouse and deselect Snap to View

it may be that you have hidden the white space at the top and bottom of the
document.

if you move the mouse pointer to the top of the page and the cursor turns to
two arrows pointing together and says "double click to show white space"
then this is what has happened. Just double click to restore the header and
footer view

I hope that helps.
