How do I delete unwanted files in MS Word?

[Guest]

Among all the functions and options on MS Word 2007, I can't find the
apparently simplest one: "Delete." If I have documents there that I no
longer need, how do I get rid of them? Even the right side of the mouse
doesn't evoke "delete" while used in the MS Word program.

Thank you very much in advance!

Just to be sure of the obvious: are you right-clicking a file name or
icon in Word's Open or Save dialog? If you are, the Delete item
certainly should be on the popup menu, between Create Shortcut and
Rename near the bottom of the list.

If for some reason it's gone missing, I don't know why, or how to get
it back, but you should still be able to select the file with a single
left-click and then press the Delete key. And you can always use
Windows Explorer instead.

I need instructions that are more basic. I have an HP All-in-one printer and
it will not function properly with Explorer 7. Explorer 7 was loaded when I
recently loaded Microsoft's "Office Home & Student 2007". How can i delete
Explorer 7 and still maintain use of "Explorer"?

I'm not sure I understand how this relates to the original question.
