Can't unpin docs from Word taskbar

When I right-click the Word icon in my taskbar, a list of recent documents pops up, as well as a few I pinned for easy access. But there are a few documents pinned which I cannot unpin. 

I right-click the pinned document, and select "Unpin from this list"...

But it just flashes orange and does nothing. I have been able to add new pinned documents and unpin these, but over the last several months a few documents have refused to unpin. I deleted one or two of these documents from my computer files, but they still refuse to unpin (they didn't unpin when the documents were still present, either). 

Suggestions? I'd really like to get rid of these documents - having a pinned list is not helpful if I can't remove the documents later.
