Default I cannot find Recent Documents under the Office button

Gee Greg, us Air Wing Marines are helped out by you guys all the time. After
all, how would we get to where we're going without the Navy? Someone
recently told me that we are a department of the Navy...the men's department.

When were you in, Greg? I served from 1955-59 right between Korea and
Vietnam.
Seriously, thanks for the help...if your latest suggestion doesn't work I'll
try MS technical support.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Mike

Mike,

A a retired Navy man I don't know if I should continue to try to help you or
not. Seems you should be able to grunt it out ;-).

That smart remarks said, I don't know much else to offer. Have you by
chance used anything like Windows TweakUI to suppress the display of
recently used files?

The list should be stored in the registry StartRun Type in regedit.

Look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 12.0 Word
File MRU

Thank you, Greg.
For some reason the "Show this number of Recent Documents" selection
is greyed out and will not let me access or change it.
Any suggestions?
Mike

You might try OfficeWord OptionsAdvancedDisplay and verify that
your display recent documents is not set to 0.

When I first installed Office Enterprise 2007 as I used Word, recent
documents were shown on the Office button page. They are no longer
there and I would like to have them shown. Anyone know what I have
to do to have them list again?
