Hi,
Brand new to Word 2003. my question is this: I created a doc that I
printed;and no longer want it. When I open Word up;in the bottom right
hand corner it shows Open-and below that my document. When I open
file;near the bottom it lists the doc;can't figure out how to delete it as
I no loger need it. any help?
