The default template (Normal.dot), based on new documents that contain unwanted content. Delete the default template (Normal.dot), so that Word automatically creates a new default template (Normal.dot "can create new).

1. Quit Word.
   
2. In the Finder: / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Microsoft / Office / User Templates, and then drag the file "Normal.dot" in the trash.
   
3. When you open Word the next time it starts a new default template (Normal.dot ") is created. In this new template-based documents are blank.
   
4. Note The term used in new documents based on the format defined in a template settings. If you use any other template, the settings for new documents are based on the Normal.dot

When you open Word or click New Blank Document, Word creates a new document based on the Normal.dot Based. You can also create a document based on existing templates. You can edit any template to change its formatting or content.
