Hi
If this is showing up in your new documents, you would want to edit the normal template.
To do this open that template for editing. You cannot do this by double-clicking on it; that simply gives you a new document. Here are my instructions for opening the normal template.

Once you have change the settings, save and close the normal template. There should be no text in the normal template.
