Default When I open a new page, I get background with small boxes?

Recently, when I started opening a new page, in Word, I am getting a
bcakground on the page, like a table, with 52 columns across and more down.
Very much like graph or grid paper. How can I get rid of this?

Depends on the Word version - for Word up to 2003, turn off the grid from
the Drawing toolbar Draw Grid
For Word 2007 - insert or select a shape, then from the drawing tools
format arrange align uncheck 'view gridlines'.
In any version, the following macro will toggle the gridline display on/off

Sub ToggleGridlines()
Options.DisplayGridLines = Not Options.DisplayGridLines
End Sub
