header appears on "New" page

[Miss K]

I tried to set up a header. Somehow it has been saved and everytime I open
"new" to create a new document, the header appears on the page. How can I
remove it?

Open the Normal template as a document and remove the header. Save and close
the file. For more, see

That did it. Thank you.

I'm glad I could help.

Note that removing the header content will not remove the empty header
paragraph, which can cause problems with labels. This is one case where
blowing away Normal.dot may be the only solution.
