Word is an application for creating/editing documents in a variety of
formats for a variety of uses. I has no facility to delete documents. You
could delete the entire content of the document but would still have a
file containing much data but no actual text or other user content.
To delete the document file, use the Mac's file system-whatever they call
that application on a Mac.
If you are trying to delete the file using the operating system rather
than Word and still cannot, and if you use OS 10, it is likely a user
permissions issue.
