The macro is for clearing the recent file list. To edit the SaveAs popup you
will need to edit the registry directly, to delete all or part of the contents of the key -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Amelia''s Dad wrote: Graham, this sounds what I'm after, but can you confirm your previous macro please.
