The last time I was in Word, it crashed and I thought I
had lost the file I was working on. I created it again
and saved it to disk. Today when I went back to Word and
clicked on the shortcut, it opened the file I thought I
had lost. The same thing happens if I click on the new
document icon. I have tried searching for it to delete
it but search does not come up with anything when I
searche it by either name that shows up for it (Document1
or a name derived from information on the first line). I
have also tried saving the file and then deleting it but
it still shows up every time I open a new document. Does
anyone know how to get rid of it? This file was formatted
differently than usual so every time this opens as a new
file, I have to reformat each new document. Thanks to
anyone who can help.
