Default How do I delete a file name from the file drop down list?

If you're talking about the MRU list at the bottom of the File menu, you can
remove specific files by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen, then clicking on the
filename. Use this shortcut with care, as it will remove *any* menu item you
click on.

Hello....I'm aving the same problem....I have MS word 2000 & when I go
to my "SAVE AS" window & type in the File Name Field Box it gives me a

Suzanne was good But if I can do what Gram said, that will be better cause I
do not want to do the wrong line on accident. Follow his prompts it is good.

Well, this is actually a different (and more difficult) issue, assuming that
Liz was referring to the filenames that appear at the bottom of the File
menu.

You've already been given a simple solution; wasn't it simple and
unthreatening enough for you?
