A quick way to change the margins is to select the Layout tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then in the Margins group, you will be able to view and change the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin values using the respective controls. Right now we have the Top margin highlighted which is currently set to 1.

Assuming it's only on the screen, not on the print, it's just a setting. I don't have Word 2003 here, so I can't tell you exactly what setting now, but it's easy to correct in another way also. I'll be at work in an hour or so, and then I'll add it in another post.
Move your mouse to the space between two pages. The mouse cursor changes to two horizontal lines with two arrows pointing outwards. To go back to the current setting (if you like to see more of the text on a page): move your mouse to the space between two pages. The mouse cursor changes to two horizontal lines with two arrows pointing inwards.
Easy once you know it. Proffitt: I don't know what you mean by 'renaming normal.dot'. Where is that file located, and exactly what do I do to get there? This would be interesting to know in order to have that solution in my tool box for future reference. Thanks for your input. To Kees_B: With respect to your first answer: Thank you!!! How simple was that!!!!!
That corrected the problem very nicely. To Kees_B: With respect to your second answer: I had already checked Tools>Options>View tab 'Show white space between pages', but thank you so much for this suggestion. And thank you for being so very clear and complete in both your responses. Everything is very much appreciated!!! That's the default template of Word. Strange things can happen if it is corrupted. Deleting it makes Word make a new uncorrupted one.
All your lose: some settings and your macro's stored in it. Instead of deleting we recommend renaming it, so you can easily go back. But deleting into the recycle bin (and not emptying that) is an alternative. It's located somewhere in your profile. Searching for normal.dot will find it, although you might need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders.
