how do I remove the square in the top left of new word document

[Sixshooter]

When opening a new word document with Office 97, I get a square in the top
left corner of the new document. Can anyone tell me how to stop this
happening.

If this is some font other than Times New Roman, it might be a paragraph
mark. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm
