I'm running Microsoft Word 2016 and something has changed to mess up the normal template. &nbsp;When I create a new file now the file opens as below, where the first line is right below the top of the page:<br />

Could someone tell me how to fix this? I have older Word files that still have the good normal template. &nbsp;Is there a way to make their template the main normal template, or maybe save one of those files at the normal template, and then go in and delete the text on the template?<br />

Thanks

How to fix a normal template

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
