Each time I open a file looking for the one I want, it changes the order and
appearance of files I have already opened. There might be three important
ones, but since I had to browse six unimportant ones I can no longer see them
because they have been hidden by the unimportant filenames. In the recent
documents section we should be able to 'collar' some select files so they
won't be driven off the list while browsing. Or perhaps enable us to turn off
the list process temporarily while we browse files.

If you're using Word 2003 or earlier, use the Work menu
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm).

If you're using Word 2007, each file on the recently-used list has a green
pushpin icon to its right. Click that icon to "pin" the document onto the
list.
