Clear Recent Files (History) in Word

[Bob]

How can I clear the recently opened files in Word 2002.
I have found the registry entry for the Recent Files in
Excel, but cannot find a Recent Files entry for Word.

In Tools > Options > General, clear the checkbox for "Recently used
file list" and click OK. Then go back and check the box again.
