automatic pasting upon opening

[x0xLiveStRoNg6x]

When I try to open a new blank document, there is always this section
of text that I had copied and pasted onto a document a while ago. I
would like to know how to change the settings so when i open a new
blank document, it is actually blank, without the automatic pasting of
the passage of writing. Thank you!

Are you referring to Word? If so, it sounds like the text was saved in
your Normal template.

For Word 2004, you can delete (with Word closed) that file in your

~ocuments:Microsoft User Data

folder (filename "Normal" - no quotes, no extension), and Word will
create a new file when it's next started.
