I once copied and pasted two Excel columns into a new Word document.
Now, every time I open a New Document ("Document1" etc.) the columns and some text appear. I usually delete them and carry on.
Today I am translating the text in flow diagrams which are in word Files. When I "Edit Picture" my old mates the Excel columns appear with the text, underneath the "picture".
It's a big problem. Can anyone help,please?

First of all, thanks to Heinrich for suggesting this excellent link that really does solve the problem. I only want to suggest a method to prevent this from happening again. Go to Tools, Options, Save. There you should find a check box for prompting when saving normal template. Select this check box. The next time you, unknowingly, change the normal template, word would warn you before saving these changes. Otherwise, as you can see from the screen tip associated with this check box, Word will automatically save any changes to the normal template and hence the problem you are facing in the first place. Good Luck. ▲ Collapse
