deleting files in office 2007

[michael_01]

I haven't quite figured out how to remove a file from the word file list in
office 2007 s/business I'm sure you can but it must be hidden for security
reasons ?
I had some practice files when trying to email through outlook and also
miss formatted files that i can get them out of my documents but they're
still listed on my files in word so if anyone could tell me to remove them
from the word list it would be very helpful thanks in advance !

Do you want to simply remove the file(s) from some file list somewhere (e.g.
recently opened files) or do you want to delete the file(s) from your
computer entirely?

The list is stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Word\FileMRU, from where you
can delete individual entries
or
You can use the following macro which will reset the list to your preset
preferred number of displayed documents:

Sub ClearMRU
Application.DisplayRecentFiles = True
listsize = RecentFiles.Maximum
RecentFiles.Maximum = 0
RecentFiles.Maximum = listsize
End Sub

OR
to edit the list see
