Hello
I wonder how i can clear the list of documents that appears when you in word
choose File/open and then klick on recent documents?
I also wonder where you can set the number of files or the date since files
show in that list?
Thanks!

To select how many files are shown in your recent documents:

Tools | Options | Save | and select the number there. The limit is 9.

I don´t think we are talking about the same list. When I in word 2003 choose
file open and then click on recently used I get a long list of file which I
have used since 2005-05-01, it is a quite long list and it is not just word
files. I have tried to use the clear list in the customize start menu box,
but it does not affect "my" list. I have also tried to clear my temporary
internet files list. But now I don´t know more lists to clear, greatful for
any suggestions
Thanks
