How do I remove some of my Recent Documents list?

This is the first time I’m using Office 2007. Though there are several new useful features I found few things very annoying. One of them is the Recent Documents list. As my computer and Excel is used by many members, due to some security reasons I don’t want to let them know which documents I was working before they sit on pc. So I wanted to know how we can turn off the Recent Documents list which appears when we press the Office Button on the left, top corner of the screen?

We you can turn it off easily in few simple steps. Just click the Office Button and select Excel Option or Word Option at the bottom of the menu. Now click Advanced, scroll down and set the numbers in “Show this number of recent documents.” You can keep it zero to turn off.

My question is how to remove one entry from the list.
- Useful if the doct has since been deleted, or is an old incorrect version :-)

Thank you in advance

It is not posible to remove only 1 list from the recent docs, if I am not wrong but you can try to follow the below method to remove list of recent documents:

1. Click Office Button – located in the left corner.
2. Click word options (or whatever program you are using).
3. Click Advanced and scroll down to Display.
4. Set Show this number of Recent Documents to 0.
