Hi Margaret,

 1. If you would rather not receive mail except for topics that you have 
requested help for, you might find the OpenOffice Community Forums more to your 
liking: <http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/>.

 2. About deleting files.

 a. There is no direct way to delete already-saved files from the OpenOffice 
"File" menu.

 b. If you know where the file is stored, you can use your operating system to 
do it.  

 c. If you are on Windows there are a couple of ways to accomplish this with 
the "File" menu too.

    (i) Use the File | Open ... dialog to navigate to folders
        and right click on the file you want to delete.
        Use the context menu to delete the selected file.
        Then cancel the Open operation.

   (ii) If you are not certain where a file is stored but you
        know of a recent file that is in the same place, 
        use the File | Recent Documents ... dialog to open
        a file from the same location that you *don't* want
        to delete.  Then select File } Save As ... and delete
        the same way as in (i).  Then cancel the Save As ...
        operation. 

Your mileage will vary if you are running on a different operating system.  
Others here can help with that if you say what system you are running.

 - Dennis

I have now subscribed to  this email address, but am not sure what it entitles 
me to.  I don't want to receive a lot of  unwanted information. All I want is 
ocasional help with Open Office - eg. I want to know how to delete a document 
from File - can't find this anyway  in Help or other instruction 
booklets.Thanking you,  Margaret Beale
