how to delete recent documents in "microsoft WORD BUTTON"
You can't delete them selectively. You can set the number to zero to
completely clear the list, then reset it to a higher number. Or you could open the ones that are older than the ones you want to get rid of (thus making them newer, higher up in the list) and then set the number of files to display to a lower number, eliminating the now-"oldest" ones. -- Suzanne S.

No need to SHOUT!
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 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 MCKENZIE12 wrote: WHEN CLICKING ON THE MICROSOFT WORD BUTTON IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER ,IT EXPANDS TO A TWO COLUMN WINDOW.
