Open Word.

Create a blank page. (If necessary just delete all of the information on the unwanted document which has opened).
Check that the margins, etc are where you want them to be whenever you open a blank page.

Go to 'File'. Click on 'Save As'

In the bottom field ('Save as Type'), select 'Document Template'.

The folder shown in the top field ('Save In') should now show 'Templates'. If it doesn't, you'll have to navigate to
C:\\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.

Fill in the file name as 'Normal' (without the quote marks and with the capital N).

Click 'Save'. If you're asked if you want to over-write an existing file, select 'Yes'/'OK'.

Close Word. If you're asked if you want to save the document, select 'No'.

Re-start Word. It should now open with the blank document which you created previously.
