Hi ?B?SmVyYWxkIEQgTW9udGdvbWVyeQ==?=,

How do I delete the recent document list on exit or any other way in MS
Office 2007 word

If you go to the "Office" button, choose Word Options, the go to the
"Display" part of the Advanced section, you'll find "Show this number of
recent documents". Set that to 0 and it will clear the list.

There's nothing built into Word that will clear the list automatically for
you. Although conceivably you could write an AutoExit macro that sets the
list to 0 and an AutoExec macro that sets it to whatever number you want
to use during the current session.

But please note that this won't guarantee any lists that have been made in
the Registry will be removed when Word exits.
