Gigantic Header

I have Office XP and recently my documents started the
annoying problem of begining at the middle of the page. I
selected view header, and there is no data in the header
but the header box is so big that it uses up nearly half
of each page.

I tried to adjust the header size by manipulating the
header bar to the left of the page but this bar does not
appear out of the ordinary and I can only move it up
slightly. When I do this, the header moves up a little but
then the header and footer run together.

Can anyone help, please

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, change the vertical alignment from Center
to Top.
