why does a closed document keep reappearing when I start word

[Guest]

When I click on 'new' to begin new document, the previous document keeps
reappearing which I can only delete from the screen by pressing 'select all'
and 'delete', but it still reappears next time. Why can't I delete this
document? Has it been saved as a template in error? And if so, how can I
remove it?
