Thanks for your reply, Gdareos, but for the amount of Excel I do
(the amount I'm capable of doing!) - there's no way upgrading to 2007
might be worth the money. I can add, subtract, multiply and divide and
a little more - and I'm slowly moving on from there. I really an a
'newuser'. I use 2003, BTW.
Thanks again.

I've got the last 17 files I opened in Excel 2007 listed.

If you can upgrade to 2007, you may find it worth the money - I like
it very much.

Thanks,
George

On opening Excel I get on the RHS the list of recently-opened

My
list is of 9 files - I guess that to be the default number.

Occasionally I do some tidying up - maybe deleting, re-naming or
moving a file to a different folder. That RHS list remains the same -
though clicking on a line may lead nowhere. Is there a way I can
easily
delete that entry from the list without opening more and more files
until it disappears off the bottom of the list?

A list of 9 is normally quite enough for me (providing I've no
'dead' ones in that list) but is there a way I could increase it? I
realise, of course, that I can retrieve any further files by clicking
on
'More' at the bottom of the list, but it's so handy to have them there
on the RHS at start-up.

TIA of any replies.
