SUMMARY
Pages 217-218 of the &quot;Microsoft Excel Functions and Macros&quot; version 2.2 manual incorrectly state that the wildcard asterisk (*) character can be used in the FILE.DELETE? command function to represent any series of characters.

It also states that the formula =FILE.DELETE?(*XL?) lists all documents that contain the letters &quot;XL&quot;. This formula returns &quot;Error in formula.&quot;

There is currently no method to list a subset of documents in the Delete dialog box (on the File menu).
