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.
