Is there a way to disable the automatic creation of a new document every time i select the office 2008 icon?

No. Not in Mac Word.

Why do you want to? It should go away automatically as soon as you open
another document.

It doesn't go away automatically upon the opening of a document.

I think John's reply was based on an incomplete description of the
problem You're referring to having Word already running with no document
open, having a different program in the foreground, then switching back to
Word by clicking the icon in the Dock, right?

That isn't a Word behavior, it's an OS X behavior & the blank doc created in
that case will not "evaporate" when you open a different one. If it really
bothers you, use Command+Tab to return to the Word window rather than
clicking the Dock icon.

It does, unless you are doing something wrong.
