Mouse over the little grey area you see at the top between the ruler and the page, it should say "show white space" in a tooltip. Click it and the top margin should reappear.

ahh thanx, but it seems the margins are bigger than they should be

[Edit] the number it says at the end of both rulers says 4. shouldnt it be smaller?

anyone know the numbers the rulers should be on?

added a screeny of the margins
Note: the vertical margin had to be zoom out so i can print screen it

Everything you change there applies to a specific section only. So make sure you also select the correct selection for that: current selection, whole page, whole section, etc...

that totally depends on what your preferences are, aka: it should be whatever your prefer. I often use 1 to 2.5 cm, depending on the type of document I make.
