Hi,

To remove files that no longer exist from the list in Word 2007, click the 
Office Button, click Word Options, click Advanced, go about half-way down the 
list of options, set the number in the "Display this number of recent 
documents option" to a number that will shorten the list so that the deleted 
file will not be included in it, and click OK. At this point the shortened 
list should not include the deleted file. Then go back and set the number to 
its previous value or to another number that you prefer, and click OK.

In Word 2003, on the Tools menu, click Options. On the General tab, set the 
number after "Recently used file list" to a number that will shorten the list 
so that the deleted file will not be included in it, and click OK. At this 
point the shortened list should not include the deleted file. Then go back 
and set the number to its previous value or to another number that you prefer 
and click OK.
