New Blank Document

In the Finder, go to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data and double-click a file
called "Normal". Delete the text, then save the file, and the new blank
document should be blank again. Word uses said Normal file as a scratch pad,
i.e. every single new document, unless specified otherwise, is based on that
template file.
