How do I activate recent file list in Word 2002 general options?

[Guest]

The recent file list is greyed out in the general options. How can I turn it
on?

 

[Summer]

Go to Menu TOOLS
Click OPTIONS (at bottom of dropdown list)
Click GENERAL tab
At Recently Used File List type: 9 Entries (this is maximum unfortunately).

But in 2007 should you upgrade you have 50 as the maximum (a nice feature)

Hi Don,

One of the more common reasons for the choice being greyed out is the use of a system tool such as MS's TweakUI to control history
settings. This article may help:

I looked at the kb284896 but I do not have the 'Add new documents to
Documents on Start Menu'' check box on the IE tab of Tweak UI. As a matter of
fact, I didn't even have TweakUI installed until I lost my MRU list.
Thanks, Don
