VBA code to create a Word 2013 Ribbon tab which lists recent documents

[pschroeter1]

Has anyone seen any VBA code which creates a Word ribbon tab listing recentdocuments? I find the recent document list at the bottom of Backstage under the File tab is too far away and the one in the jump list is too much of a moving target. I can't find a command in the ribbon customization which does it.

I recently upgraded from Word 2002 where I had a menu which was nothing butthe recent documents list. In fact, I have spent the past month making Word 2013 look and act as much as the Word I had been using for ten years, auto-hiding the ribbon to make it act more like menus and loading up my Quick Access toolbar with commands. I even recently figured out how to edit the right-click menu which seems to go against Microsoft’s wishes.
