That's the Track Changes feature, which you must have turned on at some
point -- possibly in the Normal.dot template used to create new blank
documents.

To turn it off, select Tools > Track Changes or press the shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+E, or double-click the letters TRK in the status bar at the
bottom of the Word window so they change from black to gray.

Then, to remove the boxes that are already there, display the Reviewing
toolbar (View > Toolbars > Reviewing) and click Accept All Changes.

If this happens in an ordinary blank document, see
