How can I keep a list a frequently used file name in the "File" me
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 €śexit€ť option. Thank-you |

How can I keep a list a frequently used file name in the "File" me
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. ========= "Randy Brooks" wrote in message ...

How can I keep a list a frequently used file name in the "File
Hi Bob.
Thanks for the help. It was not as I remembered but the "work" menu item does exactly what I want! I noticed the "work" menu item in not available in Excel. Is there a way to do this procedure in Excel? Thanks again. Randy "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Randy, Prior to Office 2007 using File=Open=Recent Documents is a longer list of recently opened files.
