Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the the Login Items tab.

You can remove login items from there.

If that doesn't remove them all, check /Library/StartupItems.

I just did the user & groups.....did not show the word, excel.....I removed everything though but when I restarted the computer. Word, excel....again opened during startup. How do you go to /Library/Startup items? Thanks for your help.

When you go to restart or shutdown, leave the "Reopen windows when logging back in" box unchecked
