Files Save As option
In the Options dialog for your version of Word, change the number of Most
Recently Used files to be used to 0. Or run a macro containing the following code Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = 0 -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP, originally posted via msnews.microsoft.com "M.I.

Hi,
Mr. Robbins have mentioned about the Most Recently Used documents int he File Menu, whereas I asked about the recently saved documents in the Dialogue box that appears after you click File Save As and if you seen infront of the File Name the text box contain one default name with the drop down arrow on the right side and if you click that arrow it drops down to lot of previously saved documents, I want to clear that actually. Anyway Thanks Mr. Robbin. |

Anyway Thanks Mr. Robbin. There is no method for clearing that list from within Word's user interface. However, because this list is stored at a specific place in the registry, it's possible to use a macro such as the following one to clear it. Read http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed. Sub ClearSaveAsMRU() Const baseKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\ " & _ "Common\Open Find\Microsoft Office Word\Settings\Save As\File Name MRU" Dim thisVer As String Dim thisVerKey As String thisVer = Application.Version thisVerKey = Replace(baseKey, "11.0", thisVer) System.PrivateProfileString("", thisVerKey, "Value") = "" End Sub You can assign the macro to a toolbar button (or a Quick Access Toolbar button in Word 2007). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Hi Mr. Jay Freedman,
Thanks for your guidance but I have programmed this macro and ran but couldnot clear that list, I manually editted the registery and deleted those names from their, My version of word showing is 12.0 but that list still showed when i clicked the dropdown arrow on the rightside of the text box. Kindly advise if I am missing anything. Thanking in anticipation. Regards "Jay Freedman" wrote: M.I.
