What is the text box at the top of pages word processing document?

When I open a new word processing document in pages I see that there is a text box at the top of the page that occupies 1 line of the page. How do I get rid of this?


Why is it there?


Any help is appreciated,

That "text box" is a header. There are also footers & they are enabled by default in a Pages word processing document. You can turn them off in the document inspector. To recover the space, change the size to zero before unchecking the box. To make this the default for new document you'll need to save as a template & set this template to be the default in preferences.

As it seems that you are unaware of the basics of Word Processors, it would be a good idea to download and read Pages User Guide.
