I have Word 2003 Student Teacher Edition and my OS is Windows 7. Here's my issue...each time I go into Word, it opens up an existing document. I expect that each time I close it down and open it up, that it would open a NEW blank document...but it doesn't. The actual document which opens consists of a random bunch of letters (key strokes). I remember a while back typing them b/c I was having issues with my keyboard. I don't recall saving anything, but now those letters are there every single time I open Word. I guess I would equate it to a recovery mode but I don't see anything telling me that Word recovered the file. Anyone have any ideas what I did to cause that or what I need to do to make them go away??? Thanks!
