Word 2002 in Windows XP
I seem to have lost "recent documents" in my version of Word. They do not
appear in the start menu or in the list of start menu items in customise/advanced. They do not appear in Word file menu. The item in tools/options/general is unavailable (greyed out). They do not appear in the Open a Document Task Pane. I thought I had found a solution in article 284896 of the MS Knowledge Base, but I am not using Tweak UI Anyone know how I could get them back? thanks -- electricflyer |

Are you using any other software that suppresses display of recent documents
anywhere on your system? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "bobs" wrote in message ...

Hi Suzanne
that may well be the case but if so I do not know which software might be doing it or how to find out which software to remove. Trial and error would be a very long process! -- electricflyer "Suzanne S.

Well, what I meant was "any software whose purpose is to suppress MRU
lists." If you had it, you would surely know it. Usually a mention of TweakUI is all that's required to remind users that they set the "paranoia" options in that applications. In your case, it might be a "privacy" setting in your AV or firewall. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne
I have checked my AV and Firewall (I'm using AVG) and cannot spot anything which might cause this, and if I close AVG down for a while it doesn't change anything. One problem is that I cannot be certain when this change occurred which makes it difficult to tie it to anything I have changed since then. I could try System Restore but I have had problems with that in the past so am reluctant to risk it now. Anything else you can suggest? thanks Bobs -- electricflyer "Suzanne S.

I'm afraid I can't think of anything else, but you might explore the
Registry, as there are keys that pertain to MRU lists; if you delete, say, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\W ord\File MRU (if it exists--I'm extrapolating from the 12.0 key), that might do the trick. Surely someone else here knows more about this than I and will eventually pipe up! -- Suzanne S.

If the item is greyed out in tools options, then the data key would be the
one to delete http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Quite likely (especially since that's the one that seems to become damaged
most frequently), but the most recent KB article concerning "where settings are stored in the Registry" (for Word 2002!) shows some settings in the Options key rather than Data. -- Suzanne S.
