removing doc's in the Office button doc. screen
Word still shows documents in the Office button 'Recent Documents' screen
that have been deleted. How do I get rid of those? Can't find anything in 'help' -hah!- no right click except the ribbon options. Any help, please. Thanx |

removing doc's in the Office button doc. screen
If this is Word 2002 or 2003, you can delete them from the task pane by
deleting them from the File menu. Do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and then clicking on the one to be removed (be careful: this shortcut will remove *any* menu item). If this is Word 2007, another method is required. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Fletchen" wrote in message ...

Thanx If you want to wipe out the whole list and start over, go to Office button Word Options Advanced Display and change the number of recent documents to zero; click ok; go back to the same place and set the number back to the original value. To remove individual file names from the list, download the Recently Used Files Editor from http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Recent_Files_List_Editor.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
