Recently Opened File List
All programs in MSOffice (and many other programs) keep a list of
recently opened files. These are found at the bottom of the File
menu. To open a file that you had opened recently, just click on the
name. It's a great convenience if you open the same file over and
over. Any file you need to edit or change is found in the list.
By default, Office programs keep only the last four items in the
list. Make the list more useful by expanding it to the last nine
items you’ve opened. To expand the list, go to Tools, and choose
Options. Click the General tab and locate the Recently Used List.
Change the number to 9 and click OK.
NOTE: The list only expands as you open more files. Keep in
mind that the file remains in the list if it was opened recently. To
get it off the list, you must open nine more things. The oldest is
removed from the list to make room for the newest.
If you rename, move, or delete the a file found in the Recently
Opened file list, you will receive a message indicating that the
file was not found. It's just a list of shortcuts. If you move the
file it points to, it is not updated.
