Click on the appropriate quarter of the icon and it will open the dialog to insert the picture, table, chart or movie, depending on the quarter you selected. The icon will then have served its purpose as a shortcut and will vanish. Depending which Master page you use, you will be offered the icon or not.
If you are still using the Master Page that presents the icon you may see two outline areas - a large lightly dotted rectangle enclosing the icon, and a smaller rectangle at top of page with a message "Click to add title" (or similar). Click on the lightly dotted recangle which should select, becoming heavier, with 8 green handles shown. Now Press Delete, Or just Right click on the unselected rectangle; it will select and a popup menu will offer you the option to Cut it (equivalent to Delete); choosing that will remove the rectangle and the icon. The same process will work for the upper rectangle.
If you do not delete the icon/rectangle but enter new text on top of it, it will remain showing beneath your new text. So best to select a default Master Page that suits your design methods.
