Deleting text from office 2007

Each time I go in to office 2007, I don't get a blank page. It has text from
a document from a month ago. I went to templates thinking I saved it as that,
and it says no templates saved. Each time I want to make a new document, I
have to delete this text. How do I get rid of this text permanently?

You might need to enable Windows to display hidden and system files, first.
Then, you need to open Normal.dotm, press Ctrl+A (select all), Delete, then
save/close Normal.dotm.

Click the Office button.

Click Open.

Click on Templates (at the left, to navigate to the location where
Normal.dotm is stored, might be called Trusted Templates in Windows XP).

Double-click Normal.dotm (might show as Normal without the extension if you
haven't told Windows not to hide extensions).

Press Ctrl+A.

Tap the Delete key.

Press Ctrl+F4 (close), and say Yes to saving changes.
