How to clear the 'Recently Used Fonts' list in Word 2007?
"Anita Dupage" <adup75[ at ]hotmail.com> 11/25/2008 3:20:22 PM
Is there a way to clear the recently used font list in Word 2007? I have
searched Google and the help in Word 2007 but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Anita

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

Graham, thanks for your quick response.

However, I am talking about recently used font list and not recently used
file list.

Thanks again,

Anita

Ah! Misread the question :(. In that case You can turn off the recent font
list by editing the registry. Copy and paste the following to a notepad
document ).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options]
"NoFontMRUList"="1"

Save it as FontListOff.reg
Merge it into the registry with Word closed. (right click the filename in
Windows Explorer and select Merge)

To turn it back on again

Change "NoFontMRUList"="1"
to
"NoFontMRUList"="0"

to start the list again (empty).

Restart Word for the change to take effect.

Graham, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Worked like a charm. I am saving this post for future reference. Funny after
wasting more than an hour on Google/Microsoft, could not find one single
help on it. You guys are awesome!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Anita
