I can't delete documents from Word 2002; just text and pages. I need to
delete the entire documents. HOW?
 
Close the document, then select it in the File Open dialog and press Delete.

Suzanne Barnhill took a lot of time but she had me eliminate a problem I have
had for years...mainly, deleting documents from Word. It only took three
times but I have no longer the documents that have plagued me all this
time...Thanks to her diligent patience with me, I can now sleep at night.

Glad you finally got it working.
