Click on the Office (Pizza) button and then on Word Options in the bottom
border and then on Advanced and go to the Display section of the dialog and
set "Show this number of Recent Documents" to 0.

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

Note, if you go to this setting in the registry, that Word keeps track of
the last 50 files, regardless of your choice of how many to display, except
when you set the number to zero.
