Clearing files in list that no longer exist
 

When I open Excel or Word, or any others, I get a list of files that no
longer exist in my data base. How does one clear that list which seems to
default on hitting the 'open' icon in the upper left hand corner?

Hi
Have a look at TOOLS / OPTIONS / GENERAL
and uncheck the recently opened file list box.

Sorry, I'm old school.... Excel 2003
I'm sure others will jump in, but can you use the help file and type in
recently used files

Sorry Michael,
I can't even find a 'Help' file in this new Office 2007 Professional Trial
Version I downloaded and installed several times before I got it to work.

It's under the same icon where you click to open a file, below on the
right hand side called Excel Options

The help is located top right hand side and it is a question mark icon
