Work Menu: Cannot remove files

[Jeff Thormodson]

In the work menu, I have not been able to remove any of the files. Using
Help, it reads that to Remove a document from the Work menu

Step 1. Press (Apple key) +OPTION+MINUS. This causes the pointer turns into
a black minus sign

Ste[ 2. On the Work menu, click the document you want to remove.

My problem is that when I hit this combination, the curser does not change
at all. Any suggestions?

Hi Jeff,

first of all, when you hit the Cmd+Opt+Minus combination, make sure you have
not expanded the Work menu. Move your mouse pointer to the menu bar, hit the
key combination, and then the cursor should change.

If it still doesn't do that, then make sure that you do not have the zoom
feature enabled (in the Universal Access section of the System Preferences).
That is known to interfere with the Work menu.

Michel
