when I open a Word document there is no top margin. I have gone to Layout/Margins and a 2.54cm upper margin is shown, but when I open a doc the first line is at the top of the page. I have reinstalled the application but the problem persists

Is your whitespace hidden? You may need to double tap just below the ruler to display it. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MQBTY4V8ck.

when I go to layout/margins, I see that the upper margin is indicated as 2.54cm but there IS NO UPPER MARGIN. When I look a control characters the is a backward P on the top line, right at the top of the page.

By the way I've tried going to Microsoft Support and waded through multiple lists of useless information. Does anyone know how to talk to a real person at Microsoft?
