First time tried Word. I typed and printed out a page but how do I now delete
or clear that page and any previous pages shown on the right side of Word
page /

I'm not sure I follow you, but I suspect what you're looking for is either
(a) a way to remove the text of your printed page from all new documents or
(b) a way to remove the name of the saved file from the Getting Started task
pane.

If (a) is what you mean, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm

If you mean (b), note that the same files are listed in the MRU list at the
bottom of the File menu. You can't remove filenames directly from the
Getting Started task pane, but you can remove them from the File menu, and
that removes them from the task pane as well. Press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen. The
mouse pointer will change to a big minus sign. Hover the mouse over the File
menu to open it, then click on the filename you want to remove.

Use this shortcut carefully, as it will remove *any* menu item you click on.
It is "used up" after one click, however, and can be dismissed with ESC if
you ever press it inadvertently.
