Hi Joel,
The recently used file list is stored in the registry. For Word 2007 you can use the tool or procedure here to remove individual
entries from the list.

The keyboard shortcut tool that Suzanne mentioned for prior Word versions was, unfortunately, turned off by Microsoft for Word
2007.

When I open Word it provides the option following options: New, Open, Save,
Save and more.
On the right side of that it shows recent documents. I have deleted 60% of
these files but their names continue to be in the recent document list. How
do I clear this list?
Thank you.
