Microsoft word problem!

[marleynagloria]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

When I open Microsoft word it brings up a passed document that I wrote and saved. I then threw it in the trash and it is stil coming up. It is on the screen everytime I open up word. This is also a paper that I wrote in test rive and now I have the actual program. What should I do?
Thanks

Every time you create a new Word document, this document is based on a
template called Normal.dotm. You have somehow managed to put this text into
your Normal template, which is why you can see this strange behaviour. To
fix the problem, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User
Templates and drag Normal.dotm to the trash (with Word closed, of course).
There might also be a Normal template from the Test Drive version of Office
2004 on your hard disk, which can also cause problems. Go to
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data and drag the file called "Normal" to the
trash as well. If you now open Word, a brand-new Normal template will be
generated (blank by default).
