Does anybody know how to remove recent documents in word 2007?
My system is Windows Vista home premium.
Thank you,

In Word Options - Advanced tab, Display section, set the Show... Recent
Documents: number to 0.
Word 2007 does not provide a way to remove files selectively from the list
(there was in previous versions, but not in Word 2007).

See The list is stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Word\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
See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
or to edit the list see

Or probably the simplest workaround is to pin the documents you want
When you click on Office Button, you get Recent document list. Just besides
the document name, at the right hand side, you will find a PIN icon. click
once to pin the document.
Lets say, you want only 7 documents to be there in recent documents list,
pin them and set no of recent documents to show at 7.

Oh... ok..! I got it now.. thankx...!
Well, I am not sure whether work menu is still available in QAT of word
2007, but what I feel is pinning a document gives you the same functionality
as work menu and that too in a lot easier manner
what say..? please correct if i m going in a wrong direction

Well, the difference is that the Work menu (no longer accessible in Word
2007) provided a separate list and that you could choose where to put it;
when you pin documents in Word 2007 they appear together with other
("un-pinned") documents. Also, we shouldn't under-estimate the force of
habit.

I also miss the Work Menu where you could use keyboard shortcuts and
always select the document you need. Pinning documents keeps them on
the MRU, but they move up and down the list as you open them. This
means more steps to get to the one you need.
