How do I turn on the Recent Documents feature?

[TerryF]

When I open MS Word with the Office button, the recent documents feature does
not list my recent documents. How would I go about turning this feature on?

Click the Ofice button, then select "Word Options" at the bottom right corner
of the menu. Then select the Advanced option, and scroll down and look for
the Display section, you will see an option to show the number of recent
documents. Change that from zero to the number you want to show.
