[Guest]

There are names in my file drop down list , the files do not exist! I would
like to get ride of the names . Right clicking does not work to delete them

If you're talking about the MRU list at the bottom of the File menu, you can
remove specific files by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen, then clicking on the
filename. Use this shortcut with care, as it will remove *any* menu item you
click on.

You've already been given a simple solution; wasn't it simple and
unthreatening enough for you?

Hello....I'm aving the same problem....I have MS word 2000 & when I go
to my "SAVE AS" window & type in the File Name Field Box it gives me a
drop down list of names that were entered from before but, these
documents no longer exist. How can I get rid of these names.

Please Advise. Thanks

Suzanne was good But if I can do what Gram said, that will be better cause I
do not want to do the wrong line on accident. Follow his prompts it is good.

Well, this is actually a different (and more difficult) issue, assuming that
Liz was referring to the filenames that appear at the bottom of the File
menu.
