When selecting the Office Button in Word 7 a list of recent documnets appear.
How do I clear this list?

To clear the list completely, go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced >
Display and set the "Show this number of recent documents" box to 0. Click OK,
which clears the list. Then go back and set the number to the maximum you want
to show. The list will still be empty but will start collecting new entries up
to the maximum.

If you want to keep some recent documents but delete others, see
