WORD: ADJUSTING THE MOST RECENTLY USED LIST

You'll often want to start working on the last document you were working on when you left work the day before. Word has a neat little feature called the Most Recently Used list, but many Word users seem to ignore its presence. To access the list, choose File and you'll see the list at the bottom of the menu. Select the file you want to load and get back to work right where you left off.

By default, the list holds the four most recently accessed files. You can change the number of files in the list, though. You can set it from zero to nine. Choose Tools, Options and click the General tab. Now use the spin box to indicate the number of filenames you want to retain in the list. After you make your selection, click Close to close the dialog box.
