Hi EuroOffice,

It sounds as if you may have managed to get a content control added to Word's 'Normal' template. The simplest way to fix that is to close Word and delete or rename the template. Word will create a new one next time it starts.

You should be able to find the Normal template by pasting the following into Windows Explorer's address bar:
C:\Users\%Username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\
