set the MRU number to zero and then back to nine, and the old entries would

I have Word 2007 and Windows XP: you can do the same thing in Word
2007. Setting the number to 0 (and closing Word Options to accept the
change) and then opening Word Options and resetting it to some other
number works; that is, when resetting it to, say, 5, the earlier files
do *not* reappear.
