Delete files in Word for Mac 11.1

[Frank via OfficeKB.com]

How do you delete a Word document? Right-clicking doesn't work, the delete
key doesn't work, dragging to Trash doesn't work.

When you drag the file to the trash you need to empty the trash to delete
the file.

Control the things you can and Don't Worry about the things you can't
control.

Thanks, but that doesn't work. If I Open, then from Project Gallery/Recent
try to drag a document to Trash, it won't go. Is there some other place I
should be dragging from?

Yes, you need to drag from a Finder window, *not* from any Open/Save
dialogs. Open/Save/etc dialogs just let you navigate and access files, but
not delete, move files, etc. Are you new to the Mac?

By the way, you would have gotten a faster answer on a Mac-specific
newsgroup:
