How delete copies in my documents?
When I delete a file in My Documents, it is deleted but a new one appears as
a copy. I have copies up to Number 8! How do I get rid of them so I can clean up My Documents to keep only the files I want to keep? -- CAC old fellow |

How delete copies in my documents?
How *exactly* are you deleting these files?
Close Word and use Windows Explorer to delete all the files you want deleted. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CAC wrote: When I delete a file in My Documents, it is deleted but a new one appears as a copy.

How delete copies in my documents?
If you are holding the control key to delete documents and you move the files,
even slightly you will get copies. Select the files you want deleted with the control key, right-click, click delete. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com http://officebeta.iponet.net/en-us/p...649111033.aspx "CAC" wrote in message ...
