Selectively clear recent document list
I use a macro to clear the recent documents list in Word 2007 as follows:
Sub ClearMRU() ' Clears the list of most recently used documents Dim ListSize Application.DisplayRecentFiles = True ListSize = Application.RecentFiles.Maximum Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = 0 Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = ListSize End Sub However, what I would really like to do is only clear the list of documents that have not been "pinned". Does anyone know a way of clearing the list but leaving the "pinned" ones on the list? Many thanks, Geoff |

Selectively clear recent document list
I don't believe it is possible without reading the registry.

Selectively clear recent document list
That neither shows the 'pin' status of an entry, nor allows its use as a
selection criterion, because, AFAIK, the Obect Model does not provide the information.

Selectively clear recent document list
I don't know of anything, except that I think they get a sort of priority
when you reduce the size of the list to anything other than zero - but doing this does not cause the registry to be cleared so if you increase the size of the list again, it just brings back all the ones you had before. I don't think it would be enormously difficult to add some sort of feature to Greg's macro but I don't have time at the moment and I suspect Greg - game though I'm sure he'd be - would need some help to pull the flags out of the registry. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "Suzanne S.

adding it to his Web site, but Jay hints that this won't be necessary in Word 2010. -- Suzanne S.
