Is there any way to change the width of the pull-down menus in WORD?
Especially the File (for Recently Used File List). A corollary question is
how to change the number of files displayed to more than 9.

Many of my file names are too wide for the File pull-down menu and many have
the same leading portion with varying suffix portions which do no display
making the list of limited utility in identifying the files.....

Neither of those items can be changed. You're stuck with that width for the
pull-down menus, and 9 is the maximum number of recent files that can be
displayed.

There is a folder called My Recent Documents, which is located in Documents
and Settings, [user name] folder. You could create a shortcut to that folder
and use it... understandably not the same, but still...

Thanks, Herb. Is there any way to change the settings for the My Recent Docs
folder? Mine has 231 files which is more than what I had in mind.....

Not that I'm aware of. But, since that folder contains shortcuts to files,
rather than the files themselves, you can delete any unneeded shortcuts.
