How to clear the recent documents list in Word 2007

Just playing with Word 2007. Whilst I have to say I do like the new look and feel of the ribbon interfaces I still find myself looking for menus that don't exist, and occasionally not being able to do what I want! Undoubtedly the functionality will be there just not alway obviously I find.

Anyway, a minor be never the less annoying at the time feature I couldn't find was how can I clear the recent documents list. I now know how... Simply, click on the Office button, click on the Word Options button, select the Advanced button, scroll down to the Display section and set the number of Recent Documents to zero and press OK. Now if you repeat the process and then set the display number back up to what it was you will find the list is cleared and ready to be repopulated.
