Still can't remove a number 1 from new documents

[Guest]

I still can't remove the number 1 from newly created documents even though
"Sammy" responded with the simplest fix: cleaning up Normal.dot. I did a
search in my pc and didn't find any files that had a .dot extension. Please
help me I have a lot of new docs to create for my team members

Are you sure you're seeing a number 1 and not perhaps the paragraph mark
(¶)? You can toggle that off by clicking on the Show/Hide ¶ on the Standard
toolbar (for more, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm).

If it really is a 1, check to make sure that Normal style hasn't been
modified to have numbering.

Also, the short line you're seeing is the end-of-document marker. It's
displayed in Normal view (not in Print Layout) and cannot be removed.
