Help: Cannot remove field from Word

[sbuckaroo]

I appreciate your help on this issue. Somehow, everytime I create a
new Word document, and when I save it, Word inserts automatically a
field at the bottom of the page showing the file location, and date
and time of edit. When I delete this text, and I hit save again, the
field is reborn!!

This is extremely annoying. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance.

The field code has been saved as part of Normal.dot. Take a look here to see
how to restore Normal.dot to the default:

Thanks Herb for the response. I tried the instructions given, and
created normal.dot from scratch, but I still get that extremely
annoying field!

Do you have any add-ins installed?

From your description, I think you may have a macro named FileSave or
FileSaveAs (or both). In that case, those macros will run instead of the
built-in Save and Save As. Such macro(s) may be created to add fields and
such macros could as well be in your Normal.dot. But since your Normal.dot is
new, that does not seem to be the problem.

See :
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm
in order to find out whether you have add-ins installed

If add-ins are installed, try to turn them off one by one (Tools > Templates
and Add-Ins) in order to find out whether one of them causes the problem.
