how do i remove documents from "recent document" list?
I recently renamed a file and can't get rid of the old file name on my recent
documents list. It's kind of bugging me. I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2007 if that helps. |

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 k8calkin wrote: I recently renamed a file and can't get rid of the old file name on my recent documents list.

Hi Graham,
Presumably, if you change the line: RecentFiles.Maximum = 0 to RecentFiles.Maximum = 8 the 9th & subsequent items would be deleted from the MRU list. If so, the OP might be better off to change the 0 to 1 less than the unwanted item's position in the list.

I guess that should work, but if you want to pick out odd items from the
list foir deletion, Greg;s recent file list editor does that effectively and is available as an add-in from the link posted. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org macropod wrote: Hi Graham, Presumably, if you change the line: RecentFiles.Maximum = 0 to RecentFiles.Maximum = 8 the 9th & subsequent items would be deleted from the MRU list.
