List of Recent Documents

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I am accustomed to seeing a list of my most recent documents under the File menu when I am in an application in Office. I no longer see that list now that I have Office for Mac. Is there anyway to activate that option?

It is still in the file menu, but not at the bottom. Look at File-Open
Recent. The number of files can be adjusted in the preferences.

Thanks so much...Never noticed that! Now I do feel like an idiot. I appreciate your reply!

And for more, select File> Project Gallery - Recent

Does anyone know where this actual file is stored? I saw a tip where you can
drop the BBEdit folder for recent files to the dock to have access to your
recent items, but I couldn't find it for Word.

"~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.PreferenceData/Recent Files &
Favorites"

All Office apps appear to store the Recent list in

~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.plist

Thanks! That was interesting to check out. Totally different from the BBEdit
folder where you can actually see the files.
