Deleting a Document in Word

Hi,
Brand new to Word 2003. my question is this: I created a doc that I
printed;and no longer want it. When I open Word up;in the bottom right hand
corner it shows Open-and below that my document. When I open file;near the
bottom it lists the doc;can't figure out how to delete it as I no loger need
it. any help?

Choose File - Open and locate the file (but don't open it). Right-click on
it and choose Delete.

Herb,
I guess I deleted it because I can't find it. do saved word docs go
to a specific location or did i have to pick one? When I open word it shows
the doc-but when I click on it it says file is missing. How do
i repair or clear this up?

Since you've deleted the file, couldn't you just ignore it?

JoAnn,
I guess; just thought there was a way to clear that from the module.
It's ok if I can't. Thanks for the help.

If you have deleted the filename from the MRU as suggested by Suzanne, then
close the task pane and re-open it, to update it to reflect the change.
