New blank has text from previous saved doc

[dama1]

Quite often, when opening a new "blank" word doc, it has the text from the
last doc that was saved to file. Deleting the text and clicking yes to "do
you want to save changes" doesn't do it, nor does saving it to file again.
The next time I click on the shortcut the text appears again. I have Office
2000, which otherwise works perfectly well for my usage.
Thanks for any "clue" on how to resolve this....

OK JoAnn, don't be a smart*#@, we're all not as savy as you are Ms. MVP. I'm
lucky if I can find the right icon to open something. Suzanne, thanks for not
charging me a nickel to fix the problem. I think you should charge Bill Gates
a fortune for letting this anomoly happen in the first place :>)

Well, JoAnn didn't say *whom* I should charge, and in fact if anyone should
be charged it would be MS for causing the problem. But JoAnn wasn't making
fun of you, just making a wry comment on how often this question arises
(unfortunately).
