Thanks for the confirmation, Jay, that's what I thought. But I don't think
removing it was necessary - it would only remove files in the MRU list, not
any other commands (at least that's what I found when I tried it on the beta
versions. I think the decision came down to making sure the functionality
was the same in all versions.

And yes, thanks for the correction. :-) I forgot to add that you should exit
Word prior to editing the Registry since the MRU list is created when Word
starts - new entries are added and are visible but not the manual edits.

The "destructive cursor" Alt+Ctrl+hyphen is not in the retail (RTM
version. Considering the amount of damage you could do with it
(http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm), I think on
balance that was a good decision.

Further to the method of deleting an MRU entry in the registry, I
believe the change doesn't appear in Word until you restart the
program -- at least, that's what I see.

I'm not sure if this still works (this worked in the beta but it doesn't
work on my laptop - which I got after the beta so I'm not sure) but it's
easy to try:

- Press Alt+Ctrl+Hyphen
Your mouse pointer will look like a bold hyphen
- Click the Microsoft Office Button, then click the document you want to
remove

If your cursor doesn't change to a bold hyphen then they removed this
ability. I believe think they did because I can run the command in VBA and
it doesn't work there either. :-(

The only other way is to delete it in the Registry. Here's where they are
stored:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0 \Word\File MRU

Right-click the value you want to remove and then click Delete.

document
from the Recent Documents list. Could someone help me with this? Thank

Have a nice day!



How do I access the registry?
