Open some more documents and it will fall off the bottom of the list.

how do I remove the file name after deleting the file
If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, press Ctrl+Alt+dash (top row between 0
and + sign). This turns the mouse pointer into a big dash. Click File, then use that dash to click on the file you want to remove from the list of recent documents. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "ripnor" wrote in message ...

According to the table of all keyboard shortcuts, that is "Customize
Remove Menu Shortcut." I defy anyone to explain what "customize remove menu shortcut" means.

how do I remove the file name after deleting the file
Its full name is ToolsCustomizeRemoveMenuShortcut. That's a throwback to the
days of WordBasic, when commands were named according to the menu/submenu on which they lived; this one was in the Tools Customize menu and has the function of removing a menu item. I don't know why MS chose "Shortcut" rather than "Item", but software engineers aren't necessarily good at consistency in user interface design :-) (cf. Alan Cooper's "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum"). As a coda to this discussion, if you accidentally misuse the big dash (a.k.a. the destructive cursor), read http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm for recovery instructions. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Well, you explained three of the four words, and found an excuse for
the fourth! Shades of SNL's old "Tech Support Guy." Why aren't software engineers forced to interact with users?

The people in charge are afraid that such interactions would permanently
damage the users. ;-) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "grammatim" wrote in message ...
