Deleting documents in Word 2007
In Windows Explorer (which you may know as My Computer), open the My
Documents folder. If your documents are in a subfolder, open that one. Continue to open folders till you find the one where your documents are located. Select the appropriate files and press Delete to send them to the Recycle Bin or Shift+Delete to permanently delete them. You should be able to do the same thing in an Explorer window (Open or Save) in Word, however, provided they are closed and you are not displaying the file list in a view that shows a preview. -- Suzanne S.

Deleting documents in Word 2007
The documents are not 'in Word' they are saved on your hard drive - in the
My Documents folder. Windows Explorer is merely a window to the files saved on your hard drive. You can do the same from any of the file operations Windows in Word e.g. File Open. Select the files (carefully without dragging them) and press delete. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Vern-Cincy wrote: Thanks Graham but the documents are in Word.
