I have a title which I want to give a top margin. However, specifying a paragraph spacing before the title doesn't work if I don't have a paragraph above the title.
How can I make my title have a margin top even if it is on a new page with no paragraph above ?

One solution is to select the title paragraph and open the Borders and Shading dialog:
Assign a white top border to the paragraph, and then click Options. Set the Top value as desired.
Now the title text will have a top margin; i.e., it will be pushed that far down from the top of the page.
However, it is not possible to get down further than 31pt.

A simpler approach is to put an empty paragraph above the title. Then “Spacing Before” works:
