When I open up Microsoft word, it looks like this.

How do I make it so the part I circled red, opens up automatically like that? Like this below.

I know this is an incredibly stupid question and you all think I am an idiot now (if you haven't thought so already), but when it comes to computers and technology I am extremely stupid.

I believe you open it up, set it how you like it, click FILE, select SAVE AS. In the SAVE AS TYPE box at the bottom of the SAVEAS window, select DOCUMENT TEMPLATE. Select NORMAL (not ~$Normal) and click SAVE. Every doc after that will be as you like.

Mine opens up with ruler spaced as you have it in the second window. :confused:

 

Are your margins set the way you want?

 

Go check File -> Page Setup -> and see what the Top margin is set at. I have mine set at 1".

When I go to Print Preview, it shows the 1'' margins, but when I am typing it doesn't show the blue margin at all and still whenever I open a new document it opens like in the first pic :confused:

If you put your cursor in the part that I have circled below, it will change to a couple of boxes with arrows and say "Show white space". Click there and you can change it back to how you want it.

Pet peeve of mine with the new office...

 

1) go to 'view' tab

 

2) show/hide "ruler" should be checked

 

Once you hit that it should come up as you like it every time you exit/open Word... word.

I got it to open like in the second pic. I was just clicking stuff randomly and some how I got it to show up. Then I saved it as the Normal in Document Template as Bluescout said and it works. Thank you :wave:
