Default How do I remove an automatic footer?

I have just started a new job and I have a problem with the computer here.
Every single word document generates with date and time of creation of the
document and the document name and file path. I would like to turn this off.
Thank you for your help.

Somebody added those items to the footer of the Normal.dot template.
To remove them, edit Normal.dot itself. See these articles for help:
