You can remove unwanted file names from the "Recent Documents" list in Microsoft Excel 2007. Here are the steps:

  1. Start Excel 2007 and click the MS Office button (circle at top left of the screen).
    1. For files you want to keep on the list, check the tack pin mark to the right of the file name in the "Recent Documents" list. The tack should change shape and color.
    2. Count the number of pinned files in the list and remember this number to use later.
  2. If you want to remove all files from the Recent Documents list, proceed to the next step. But, if you want to keep some of the files on the list, do the following steps before continuing:
  3. Click the "Excel Options" button at the bottom right of the MS Office window.
  4. In the "Excel Options" dialog box that appears, select the "Advanced" option, from the left panel of the "Excel Options" dialog box.
  5. Scroll down, till you reach the "Display" section.
    1. If you want to remove all the file names on the list, click on the up/down arrows to set the numerical value to "0."
    2. If you want to keep some of the file names, set the value to the number of files you counted in an earlier step.
    3. If you like, you can manually type the value-key in any number ranging from "0" to "50."
  6. In the "Show this number of Recent Documents" option, do one of the following:
  7. Click "OK."
  8. Your "Recent Documents" list will be cleared or show the number of documents you selected.
  9. If you checked the tack pin earlier, go back and check again to unpin the file name from the "Recent Documents" list.
  10. Repeat these steps any time you want to change the file names in your "Recent Documents" list.

How does the title bar differ between the Word screen and the Excel screen?

The title bar in Microsoft Word typically displays the document's name along with the application name (e.g., "Document1 - Word"). In contrast, the title bar in Excel shows the name of the active workbook along with the application name (e.g., "Book1 - Excel"). Additionally, the Excel title bar may indicate the active sheet within the workbook, while Word's title bar focuses solely on the document. Both title bars include window management controls, but their content reflects the specific type of document being worked on.
