For that reason, if it's paramount for you to get the text really close to
that edge, you may need to experiment with "funny" typefaces where all the
letters go "all the way to the top" of their allotted space...

I forgot to mention that my text is rotated 90 degrees so the white space at
the "top" is actually to the right of the text itself. With that in mind, I
went to Format, Paragraph. Didn't find "space above" but noticed the "Indent"
was the only value greater than zero. Set that to zero and now the text is
nice and tight inside the border of the text box. So, thanks for pointing me
in the right direction anyhow!

Deviating so far away from the Office 2003-2007 product must be the worst mistake Microsoft ever made. Vista was bad, I was told Windows 2010 was an improvement; however, i beg to differ. Microsoft made a classic mistake fixing a thing that wasn't broke. I am certain I will never find a way to set my internal margins to fit my text box format, don't try it, it ain't happenin' & nobody has that much time to crack the code if they are trying to get any work done.

Good point, though, about the formatting of text boxes. Believe it or not, but not everything can be blamed on the ribbon interface. :-)
