How to remove recently used template

[James Wang]

Hi,

We created our own templates for user to create new document when our
add-in is enabled.

When user creates a new Word document through our template, the
template is shown in "Recently used templates" section of the new task
pane. I would like to disable it from showing there or remove it in
Word quit event because when Word starts next time, our add-in may not
be enabled.

Application.NewDocument.Remove( ) method can only remove the template
added through Application.NewDocument.Add( ) method, it cannot remove
the templates automatically added by Word.

Any one knows how to do it?

Thanks.

Which version of Word are we discussing?

Hi James,

We are working on both Word 2003 and XP.

See this article for details. I'm not sure whether
NewDocument.Remove lets you remove entries created by Word,
based on user actions (been too long since I played with
this).
