Apparently the responder doesn't understand the original question.  WfW6 
has some scheme to retain a sub-list of most recently used fonts above the 
complete font list as seen in the drop-down list.  So I believe the 
originator is asking if there is any way to clear/maintain this list, 
either for the current document or for all instances of Word documents.

I have the same question!  To me its a highly annoying 'improvement',
because every time you drop down the list to look for a font you need to 
scan over the sub-list at the top to get to the start of the real font 
list.  If it's supposed to represent the most recently used fonts (& even 
that's not very clear), then I guess it's 'obvious' why MS introduced the 
feature.
