A person who was using this computer had created the
Microsoft Office Word 2002, so that everytime someone
would open an new document there would be an
advertisement that appears. So we someone were to open a
document the advertisement would appear and so that
person would have to select all and delete all to get a
blank page with no text. How would I be able to get rid
of it once and for all?

They most likely put that text in the "normal template" -
a document that Word uses as an example for all blank or
new files.

You can Search in Windows for "normal.dot" or in Word
select File -> Open and set the 'Files of type'
to 'Document templates (*.dot)' - you'll find the
normal.dot file usually on your C: drive, under Documents
and Settings - username - Application Data - Microsoft -
Templates.

Right click this file and choose open - delete all the
offending text, then save the file.


Check it by restarting Word and creating a new document.
