Getting Rid of Those Recently Used
Files
Did you notice, in any of the Office
programs, that at the bottom of your File menu you have a list of the
Most Recently Used files? Did you know you can control how many
you put there? Just go into the Tools menu in any of the programs
and select "Options". In the Options dialog box, click
on the tab at the top that says "General". In there you
will see where you can tell Word or Excel or PowerPoint how many of
these recently used files you want displayed, or you can uncheck it and
turn this feature off all together.
But, what if you don't want to turn it
off altogether, but you just want to remove one entry from the
list? Either because you deleted the file and it's still
showing up there or you don't want the next person using this program to
see THAT file.
Here's a very slick tip:
With MS Word open, hold down your Ctrl and Alt keys and press the hyphen key (above the P, not the minus sign on the number
pad). You will see your cursor now looks like a minus sign.
Click on the File menu and click on the file you want to remove.
And....BINGO....it disappears!
How's that for cool?
Hang in there!
