delete a document from list that was saved to floppy disc
If you are referring to the MRU list at the bottom of the File menu, press
Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen, then click on the filename. Be very careful with the use of this shortcut, as it will remove ANY menu item you click on. -- Suzanne S.

Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are
the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org maniac wrote: i need to delete a document from the list in Word,even though i have saved it to floppy disc. the document cannot be opened,as saved to floppy,but would like to get rid if the titles of the old documents. |

So that you will have heard it the magical three times: If you want to be
able to use your documents, when working within Word, act as if your removable media drives do not exist! (This applies to floppy drives, CDRW/CDR, flash drives or DVDR drives as well as any other kind of removable media drives.) Don't use Word to: Open a document on removable media Print a document on a removable media Edit a document on a removable media Save a document to a removable media (not even a copy) Word regularly trashes documents on removable media drives! Instead, work on the document using your hard drive. Copy it back and forth using Windows. I know that for some with shared computers (libraries, schools) this is a tough prescription. All I can recommend for that is to use a brand new formatted disk each time you save and don't do any editing. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
