Microsoft Word

[Eduardo B. Banaag]

Whenever I click on the Microsoft Word icon from my
desktop display, "Document 1 - Microsoft Word" appears. I
have tried the conventional means of deleting but without
success. Please send me a detailed procedure to correct
this problem since I am unable to start a new document.
Thanks.

This is normal, that when you open Word, it opens a new blank document
titled "Document 1." What is the issue?

what I mean is, a blank document does not appear but a
document with text on it, a letter which I wrote
recently. I cannot delete this letter which keeps
appearing every time I click on the Microsoft Word icon

The document is not blank, but a document with text. How
do I get rid of it? I have tried all the conventional
deleting ptocedures. Thanks.

It is not a new blank document that appears. Rather, it
is a document with text on it (a letter which I wrote
recently)and I am unable to delete it to make way for a
new blank document. Please help me

Start Word, open \documents and settings\your username\application
data\microsoft\templates\normal.dot.
Delete the text from there, save, and close.

"Document 1" *IS* the new document that you've started.

Sounds like your shortcut is to that file rather than to Word in general.
If you have Word associated with .doc endings it will open that particularly
file using Word. Right click your shortcut, choose Properties and note what
the shortcut is to.
