Please tell me how to delete a saved document in Word. I'm using
Office 2007.

If you insist on doing it within Word, click the Office button and open one
of the file-handling dialogs (Open or Save As), select the file in the list,
and press Delete (or use the right-click menu). The file can't be for a
document that's currently open in Word, or you'll get an error message.

Personally, I prefer to use a file management program, either Windows
Explorer or xplorer² (www.zabkat.com).

Also, if the intent is to delete the filename from the list under the Office
button, it can't be effectively done.
