Cannot change vertical margins in microsoft word 2010

I have microsoft word 2010, and am unable to alter the vertical margins (top and bottom).  I can see both rules (top and left), and can slide the icons on the top ruler, but cannot do so for the left ruler.  I can also change the values in the page layout->margins option, but the top/bottom changes will not register, where the left/right ones will.

Please advise!!!

Answer
Probably you have hidden the "white space between pages", which also hides the top and bottom margins and any headers or footers.

Position the cursor between two pages (or at the top of the first page) so the cursor changes to two boxes, and double-click there.

See http://wordfaqs.mvps.org/WhiteSpace.htm for more info.
