A "close and delete" button for office documents needed

Due to the number of attachments that people have to go through each day,
there should be a "close and delete" button included in Office apps, allowing
users a one-button solution to disposing of files once they are done viewing
the content, instead of closing it and then having to go locate it on the
desktop or other file and delete it.

I can see it now! Where oh where did my little file go when I clicked the
close button on the ribbon. You know the one right next to the save one.
No I didn't know that was what the button was for as the first word in the
popup was close.....

Take the time to do correct computing. Don't save files to the desktop but
to a "view and then anything left at the end of the day gets deleted
folder." Anything you want to save is placed into another folder that is
backed up at the end of the day. That way you shouldn't delete really
important files and even should you do it you have one last chance from
recovering from the recycle bin.

The system already does that automatically, UNLESS the USER starts
saving attachments willy nilly all over the place. It's the USERS
responsiblity to manage the files they wish to save, so if you don't
want them saved, DON'T save them! Again, DON'T SAVE the files if you
don't want to delete them.
