Hi Randy,

Prior to Office 2007 using File=Open=Recent Documents is a longer list of recently opened files. On the left side of that dialog
you can add links to frequently used folders, rather than individual files themselves

On the File menus themselves there is a 'most recently used' list that would hold up to 9 entries (setting in Word prior to 2007 is
under
Tools=Options=General

In Word prior to 2007 version you can also use the Word 'Work' menu
Tools=Customize=Commands=Built in menus
and drag the Work choice to the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Other than that you may have been using a 3rd party add-in that had that has the ability to 'pin' items to a menu.

In Word, Excel, Front Page, and other Microsoft products, clicking on the
"File" menu gives the user a drop down menu of the last few files that the
person has used. I remember a few years ago there was a way to manually add
file names that you use frequently that would stay on the drop down menu for
future use. They would not leave the menu as other files were accessed. Is
this option still available? If memory serves me, I think the list was after
the last few files used and before the "exit" option.
Thank-you
