Deleting unwanted documents in Office Word 2007

The best way to delete documents is by using Windows Explorer.

For your other problem, see the article "Why is my "Blank Document" not
blank?" at:

Documents will show up on the Office Button MRU list after they have been
deleted. You can clear the entire list by setting the number to zero, or you
can remove them selectively by editing the Registry. Terry Farrell has
written an article on how to do the latter, but it has not yet been
published; perhaps he'll post here with instructions.

The list is stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Wor d\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
