I should have realized that the registry is the place to look! :-)

I think the OP is referring to the autocomplete list presented in the
Save As dialog box (at "File name"). I don't know if it is possible
to clear that list. A *Windows* setting perhaps?

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
or to edit the list see

of all created files persists in the file name drop down, even for
files and pathways which no longer exist. There must be a way to
remove redundent files.
