Microsoft Word Tips and Tricks

April 2008

There is no way to delete them directly from the Getting Started task pane,
but you can delete them from the bottom of the File menu (assuming you're
using Word 2002 or 2003). Press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and click on one of the
filenames. Repeat as needed. Use this shortcut with care because it will
delete *any* menu item you click on. Deleting the filenames from the MRU
list on the File menu will also remove them from the task pane.
