  Question
  Somehow when I go into Word, the default page that comes up shows only a 3/4
page. This is very difficult to put my text into. I'm tried changing
margins, but that doesn't help. The page on the window only shows a 3/4 page
no matter what the margins are set at.

Every time I need a new document, I have to use an old one. I can't use the
default page.

How do I change the default page showing a full size page again?

  Answer
  Depending on what your description means (and it's far from clear): (1)
change the Zoom ratio so as to display an entire page, (2) switch from
Normal to Print Layout view, or (3) display white space (see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm).

  THANK YOU SO MUCH, SUSAN! The "white space" was my problem. I had no idea
how to fix it, as I didn't know what the problem was. You made my day!
Thank you again for all your help. I wish I would have done this sooner
instead of struggling for so long.
Best regards, Mama Afrika
