Does anybody know how to remove recent documents in word 2007?

My system is Windows Vista home premium.

Thank you,
Skipper

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.
