How to open new blank document by default?

A long time ago, Microsoft Word used to be set up to open a blank document when you executed the program. Now it doesn't - it takes you to a screen where you have to click on the Blank file to open it.

How do I eliminate this step and have Word open a new blank document using the default Normal template every time I execute winword.exe?

Answer
Answer
Go to File > Options > General and clear the last check box, "Show the Start screen when this application starts".
