I too have the same problem for some time. I'm using Word2007 and using
stand alone laptop albeit logged into my home network.
I checked the "File MRU" using regedit and nothing is assigned to file. If
I work with documents and check the "File MRU" file, documents I have been
working on are listed. I do not use any applications that clear out cache or
anything else.
In another post, it was noted that the "File MRU" might be corrupted and
should be deleted. If I delete the "File MRU" file from the registry and
begin to use Word, will the "File MRU" be recreated???

If this is a stand-alone computer, try exiting Word and then deleting the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\versi on_number\Word\File MRU
key in the registry. After restarting Word, can you then set the value that
you want?

I open Word Options and set "Advanced | Display | Show this number of
recent
documents" to 23. Click OK.
Next time I open Word, the number is back to 9 (the default).
How do I get Word to keep the count at 23?
