delete recent file history in Word 2007
hi there,
sorry if this is sounds really trivial, but is there anyway to delete the Recent documents list displayed in the office button in Word 2007? I've moved a lot of files to another folder so the shortcuts lead to the wrong location. |

The list is stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Wor d\FileMRU, from where you can delete individual entries or You can use the following macro which will reset the list to your preset preferred number of displayed documents: Sub ClearMRU Application.DisplayRecentFiles = True listsize = RecentFiles.Maximum RecentFiles.Maximum = 0 RecentFiles.Maximum = listsize End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Miffy wrote: hi there, sorry if this is sounds really trivial, but is there anyway to delete the Recent documents list displayed in the office button in Word 2007?

Miffy,
Office button - Options for Word - Advanced - view section - put a 0 in the box next to the recent document list. Repeat the whole process to set it back to the original value. That should clear it, both unpinned and pinned files will be gone. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Miffy" schreef in bericht ... hi there, sorry if this is sounds really trivial, but is there anyway to delete the Recent documents list displayed in the office button in Word 2007?
