hi there,
sorry if this is sounds really trivial, but is there anyway to delete
the Recent documents list displayed in the office button in Word 2007?
I've moved a lot of files to another folder so the shortcuts lead to the
wrong location.

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

Miffy,
Office button - Options for Word - Advanced - view section - put a 0 in the
box next to the recent document list.
Repeat the whole process to set it back to the original value. That should
clear it, both unpinned and pinned files will be gone.
