MS Word 2003. In the envelopes and labels wizard return addresses can be
inserted by clicking on the down arrow to select from a list of previously
used addresses. How can that drop down list be edited to remove old
addresses? Thanks
From: Graham Mayor on
The short answer is that you can't. The only way to clear the address list is
to delete or rename the Word data key in the registry -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data - but this has
implications for a whole raft of personal settings.

Thanks Graham, I would rather not change registry settings. Is there a file I
can delete or rename to force a new listing of return addresses? Thanks
again. - Keith

No. They are stored in the registry as indicated. Not in a file.
