change File (drop down menu) to more than just last 4 documents

I would like to be able to view my previous 10 or 20 documents that I worked
on in Word. Currently, the drop down menu for File only provides me with the
last 4 documents referenced, created or viewed in Word. Is there any way to
increase that (hopefully "default") number (of 4) so as to allow me greater
"historical" view of which (many) previous documents I used in Word?

Up to Word 2003 the maximum number is 9 (Tools > options > general >
recently used file list)
Word 2007 will allow many more - I believe 50 if your screen resolution will
accommodate that number.
All your recent files are dated in the folder C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Recent
