I know, files stay in the History List (File>Recently Opened Documents) even if they don't exist anymore on your computer. With the History Manager you can make the list longer, clear its contents etc. To install this extension in OpenOffice.org: 1. download from the web: go to http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/histmngr and click on Get it! Save the file (HistoryManager.oxt) on your desktop. 2. install the extension in OpenOffice.org Open OOo, go to Tools > Extension Manager In the Extension Manager window, click on My Extensions Then click on Add, and find the HistoryManager.oxt file and click Open OOo will now add/install the extension (maybe you have to read and accept the licence first). 3. restart OpenOffice.org to make the extension active Close and reopen OOo. Your extension now sits in Tools > Extensions (last item on the droplist) > History Manager You can clear the History List or change the number of files it contains.
