In the Recent Document list leave the document you want to remove unpinned
and pin all the other documents to the list (click draw pin to the right of
the document name). Save a new document to push the unpinned document off of
the list. Unpin the documents.

I think the simplest method to do this is

Go to the Office Button, Word Options, Advanced
Scroll down to Display
Select 0 in the Show this number of Recent documents
Click on Ok

To reset showing Recent docs, go back to Word Options, Advanced
Scroll down to Display
Select xx (your preferred qty) in the Show this number of Recent
documents
Click on Ok
