i checked page set-up and all the margins are set correctly 1" left, right, top and bottom. when i start typing it's at the very top, like 1/8" instead of the 1" i want.

for the life of me, i can't figure this pos out!

see how fucked up it is...i checked all the settings, it said margins 1", paper size 8.5 x 11

Perhaps check the little "tabs" that you can slide on the ruler at the top of the page.

Hover the cursor at the top of the page till it changes appearance, and then click once twice.

Are you sure you are not typing in the Header area?

Screen capture would REALLY help.

Go to View and switch to Print Layout.

He can't figure out the margins and you're asking him to post a screen capture?

Good point.

The advice about switching to Print Layout is my bet for the Win on this one.

delete your printer
download the NEWEST drivers from HP/whatever for it
REinstall the drivers

If you have no clue on how to do this- find someone who does.

betcha it fixes it.

Don't do this.
How your margins display has nothing to do with your printer.

Go to Tools - Options... and check the "White space between pages" box in the 'Print and Web Layout Options' area of the View tab.

For the record, that does the exact same thing I told you to do: go to the top of the page, when the cursor changes double click and it changes the white space appearance.

Thanks for the tip.  I've had to fix this for several users and never knew how they managed to change it in the first place.  Now I know.  A single click did it on my computer, and that would be an easy thing to miss.

No problem. I've had to help several people with the same issue.
