Word Normal Margin

I have Microsoft Office online.  When opening new blank Word document margins are not set to norm, i.e., 1"x1"x1"x1".  There is a 1' left & right but none top & bottom.  When selecting a different margin setup from drop down it will change the left and right but not the top & bottom.

I suspect you have hidden white space. This is not the margin but what is shown on your screen.

In print view, move your cursor to the top of a page. It should change at the top of the page. Double-click.
