The "recently used files list" option is greyed out
In MS Office 2003, the option to show recently used file in
tools-options-general is greyed out. The application won't let me click on it. Has anyone run into this problem? Thank you |

Dmh,
I seem to remember that this is due to the fact TweakUI was used to suppress the display of the MRU list on the Windows Start menu. Or possibly you are using Word as your email editor for Outlook that also disables the MRU list. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "dmh" schreef in bericht ...

TweakUI may or may not be involved, but it is an issue with a registry
key. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=284896. If you didn't use / don't have TweakUI, then you can fix it with Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Go to the key listed in the article: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer Double-click the NoRecentDocsHistory item in the right-hand pane and set its value to decimal 0 or binary 00 00 00 00. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Thank you! I did do this in TweakUI but couldn't undo it from there and
wouldn't have had the nerve to go into the Registry on my own. This worked perfectly, and easily. Thank you.
