Clearing the "recent items" menu

[Scott]

Is there a simple way to clear this menu? I.e., rather than deselecting
the menu in Preferences, closing the Preferences window, then re-opening
and activating it again?

One way:

Public Sub ClearMRUList()
With Application
.DisplayRecentFiles = False
.DisplayRecentFiles = True
End With
End Sub


Put this code in your Normal or another global template, and attach it
to a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut:
