I like Word's Work menu feature but find the limitation of only 9 files
rather frustrating.

Does anyone know of a Word add-in that provides an improved way of accessing
a rather larger number of frequently used files (just as the XLG Favourites
add-in does for Excel - http://www.excelguru.ca/node/64)?

Thanks,

It would be a simple matter to create a userform that contained a ListBox
and a Browse button by which you could add files to the listbox, a Delete
button which allowed you to delete the selected file from the list and an
Open button which allowed you to open the selected files from the list.

To get started, see the article "How to create a Userform" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

and the following pages of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website :

Many thanks, I'll have a look at doing that. However, I'm just amazed that
no one's ever created an add-in to do it in the past.

They probably have, but maybe just for their own purposes. It's not really
such a big deal.
