In addition to Herb's comments: 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 or to edit the list see http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Recent_Files_List_Editor.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org I S Gone wrote: How do I clear the recent documents list from the drop down menu in Microsoft Word 2007?
