In word, my cursor shows at the very top of page, with zero margin. When I print, it prints with the right margins. How do I get it back to showing where it should actually be?!Screenshot 2026-07-18 214221

You have white space hiding in Word.

Open a document in Word.

Move your mouse slowly to the top of the page, when the cursor changes to two small boxes, double click that spot, that will show the top margins again in your documents.
