I've double-checked that I'm in the right directory using "getwd()"

indeed I am.
Any ideas on what might be causing this error message? Can it be
something
in the format of the file?
No. The error is telling you that there is no object with the name
'Wordata1.csv' in the R workspace.
Try quoting the file name (assuming such a named file is in your
working directory.) It also doesn't make much sense and may even be an
error to supply a sep="" argument to read.csv().
(I've looked through the archives and didn't see anything that might
explain
it)
Well, there are surely examples where questioners have been told they
needed to quote the 'file' argument, but there might be many other
errors that created an invalid argument.
