I'm using a computer that use to belong to another employee where I work. Whenever I open Word (or hit new document) it opens to a page with information (text) already on it?
I have to delete the text on the page to begin working on whatever I need to do. This is very annoying!
Does anyone know how to correct this? I've tried everything I know and even broke down & use the help button to no avail.

Go start>search and have it search for normal.dot once you locate it delete the file. Normal.dot is the template Word uses each time is starts up. If no normal.dot is available it creates a new one blank, with out any of that annoying text you are seeing.

Your “Normal.dot” file has been written over with someone’s document. Try replacing your “Normal.dot” file; repairing Microsoft Office should to the trick.
Go to START > CONTORL PANEL > ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS > MICROSOFT OFFICE > REPAIR
Otherwise, you can do a full reinstall which may work if the “repair” option doesn’t.
