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

Thanks Joann, I actually had seen that already, but could not
believe that I had to actually go in and make changes to the
registry to do something as simple as clearing used document data,
when previous versions took care of that with a check box. How dumb
is that.
