How do I delete scanned documents from MS word?

[Guest]

Scanned documents in MS Word are listed under "File" as saved. Cannot figure
out how to delete them.

Do you mean down where the recently opened files are located?

I suspect you mean that they are listed on the MRU list at the bottom of the
File menu. There are two ways to remove them:

1. On the General tab of Tools | Options, clear the check box for "Recently
used file list," then OK; then go back and check it again and select the
desired number to be listed.

2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and click on the file you want to remove. Repeat as
needed. Be careful with this shortcut, as it will delete *any* menu item you
click on!
