First, if this shows up when you start word with a new blank document, your company is doing it wrong in that this should not be the Normal.dotm template. That should have no content at all. You should be using a separate workgroup template for this. Here is a way to make that template be the one that is used by default for new documents.
Letterhead AddIn(s) - Default New Document
