I used to see a pallete on the top of the page with alot of fields to add to the page. now I don't see that pallete. Instead there is a pallete on the bottom right of the page. The fields are all listed, but there is no "blank space" field.

I would check your User Interface Settings, it sounds like you don't have 'Enable Enhanced Page Layout Editor' enabled - Customizing User Interface Settings To change your organization's user interface settings: Click Your Name | Setup | Customize | User Interface. Select or deselect each checkbox to modify the user interface settings for your organization. Click Save. [Documentation]
