Hello Johnny, It sounds as though Pages is opening with a template. To have Pages always open with a blank document, go into Preferences (Command-Comma) and select General in the toolbar. Select the radio button Use template. A dialogue box will open where you can choose the template you want.
Alternatively, you can have Pages open with the Template Chooser. which remembers the last template you used. The nonsense you're seeing now is placeholder text which disappears as soon as you start typing over it. When working in Pages, never use Quick Nav and always navigate within text areas using the arrow keys rather than the VO keys.
