Did you read the entire article? If you have removed the text from
Normal.dot and/or renamed it, and this isn't helping, then you must not have
edited/renamed the right Normal.dot; possibly there is more than one on your
system?

Pat..thank you for that information.
I tried all of the methods to remove the text from normal file, all to no
avail.
I still get Document 1 with text in it.

G'Day Bob,

You have somehow saved some unwanted text into your
NORMAL template.
