Gary,
That link you sent me for software to remove links (third-party tool such as
EditURLs (http://aandrc.com/editurls/) did not remove the links; however, the
free version has a function to show what else could be removed and it showed
the links I've been trying to get rid of!
I need to buy the full version to get rid of these (sort of annoying). So
indeed Microsoft is pulling these links somewhere off the registry; any idea
where? Could you expand on the places to get software to remove these links
since the stripped down software version you listed did indeed find them,
finally.
I am curious to know exactly where in the registry these links are being
stored.

When I go into IE and delete items from my Hostory, they also disappear
from the Browsed Pages list under Insert Hyperlink. Are the ones that
won't go away perhaps typed URLs? These are addresses that you've typed
or pasted into the Address Bar and will be visible when you click the
arrow at the end of the bar. They're stored in the registry rather
than in the History files. They don't get cleared when you clear the
history. There are several ways to get rid of them:
1. Edit the registry,
2. Use the Clear function, which clears other things as well and is OS
version-dependent,
3. Use a third-party tool such as EditURLs (http://aandrc.com/editurls/).
If you want more information on any of these, I'll be happy to expand on
them.

Gary,
Thanks but I failed to mention that I had also done this as well (You mean
from this line: C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Application
Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent.). I've cleared all these files and still have
remnant links. Where does Microsoft Office products pull and store this
information because I've tried deleting everything, it seems, and the
"browsed pages" references are still there! There must be someway to clear
this and refresh the programs. All programs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.,
show the same two dozen references.
The suggestions made about clearing the recent folder and Internet Explorer
do clear pages just accessed but there are pages a month or so old still
being held in the "Browsed Pages" option of the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box.

You're looking at the history data used by IE, which is distinct from that
used by Office.
Try \Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent

I've tried deleting temporary internet files and file history in the general
internet options menu; I've also tried going into the "Documents and
Settings" user folders for me and "All Users" to delete the "Temporary
Internet Files," "History," and other temporary files but I still get a list
of files and webpages in the last "Browsed Pages." Actually, some of these
files in "Browsed Pages" are new and some very old. Where do the office
programs pull these files from so that I can delete this record?
