When I open Word 2003 the page used to be blank but it has suddenly become
covered with squares like graph paper. The same is true of my notepaper
templates. The sqares don't print or show in print preview but they are very
distracting while working on the document.

Display the Drawing toolbar, click the Draw button at the left end,
select Grid from the popup menu, and uncheck the box for "Display
gridlines on screen".

I have no idea how that box gets checked if you've never visited the
dialog.
