Hi--
Just part of adjusting to the Mac. In Windows Word, you can use File |
Open and then delete a file that you see in the Open dialog, right? You
can't on the Mac, in *any* program, not just Word. You have to delete
from the Finder windows (go to the desktop, hit apple-N, get a Finder
window)--they look very similar to the File Open dialogs, but actually
are different. Once you open a Finder window (set it to column view),
you can browse to *any* location on the hard drive and either drag a
file to the trash or right-click and select move to trash (or I put a
Delete action in my Finder window toolbar so I can select a file and
click it to move to trash, very easy).
I think people on the Mac use the Finder more frequently than the
equivalent Windows Explorer gets used on Windows, though I'm not
entirely sure.
By the way, there are mac-specific newsgroups where you would have
gotten a faster answer. For future reference,
see here for Google/Entourage gateway to newsgroups for MacWord,
MacExcel, and other MS programs for the Mac:
