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

I haven't quite figured out how to remove a file from the word file
list in office 2007 s/business I'm sure you can but it must be hidden
for security reasons ?
I had some practice files when trying to email through outlook and
also miss formatted files that i can get them out of my documents but
they're still listed on my files in word so if anyone could tell me
to remove them from the word list it would be very helpful 
thanks
in advance !
