How can I delete a text document I do not want listed on my folder icon in Open Office? Sometimes I write a text or letter whichever you want to call it and do not need to keep it anymore. I see no delete option. Please advise?Kathleen Quinlan

Items in the recent files will eventually be replaced by more recent
files.  No need to delete them.

That would delete the file off the system, not delete the file from the 
AOO recently used file list. I am not sure that is what the OP wants to do.

One method is to use File > Open to find the file.  Then right click on
it and select delete.  That works for me, at least on Linux.

It's all or nothing in Recent Documents, not in the Oblivion Extension.

I totally agree, but I'm only answering questions from users, not

Martin,
Yes. That is what I expected. It is all or nothing.
I must add that I rarely need to delete files from the recent files 
list. The only times I could have deleted a file or two in the list is 
when I needed more space for the recurring files I did want in the list. 
That has been rare. I could count the number of times I wanted to delete 
a file or two on one hand.

Go to Tools -> Customize
In the Menus tab select File from the OpenOffice Menus
In the Menu Content select Recent Documents
Select Modify and Delete from the pull down menu

Note this only removes the entry from the File menu whenever you restore 
the Recent Documents it still shows the last 10 entries.

As an alternative you can create a macro that clear the entries at the 
moment you close OpenOffice
But to be honest I don't see any benefit to have documents removed from 
the list, these type of questions are raised by people who have
time to much.

Re: Question

[Girvin Herr <gh...@fastmail.com>]

Kathleen,

I am assuming you are concerned about the files listed in File -> Recent 
Documents as your "...folder icon in Open Office". Unless someone else 
here knows more, from my experience one cannot delete one file from the 
file list in File -> Recent Documents. I believe there are two ways to 
clear all files from this list, but both will clear the entire list and 
one would have to start over to get a new list without the file you no 
longer want. Here are the two methods I can think of:

1. "clear" the user profile as described over and over again on this 
list. But that would clear out everything you have configured AOO for.

2. Use File -> Recent Documents and at the bottom of the list, there is 
the option "Clear List". Click on that and the entire file history list 
should then be blank. Of course, you will have to then add the files you 
do want by opening them.

Note also, that this file list is limited to N number of files, where N 
is 10 in my AOO. As new files are accessed, the oldest files over N are 
removed. Therefore, you could use this "feature" to remove the file you 
don't want, by adding new different files until the unwanted file is 
scrolled off the bottom.

HTH.
