It won't do any harm there except that if you click on it inadvertently, it
alarmingly tells you that it can't find the file. Eventually, as you open
other documents, that path will drop off the MRU list. But if you really
*need* to get rid of it right now, press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and click on it. Be
careful where you click: the "Terminator Hyphen" will delete *any* menu item
you click on.

I opened the same Word file once from the desktop and once from a folder I
moved it to. Now I don't seem to be able to delete the old path for
opening
the file on the desktop, which appears under the File menu along with the
correct path of the folder where the file is currently.
I'm using Office 2003 S&T version.
Thanks
