Hi Kerry,
The Recently used file list can be affected by a couple of factors, including Windows settings.
This article would also apply to Office 2007

==========
In Word (and Excel) 2007 B2TR the recent documents list is not working. If I go to options, Advanced, the option called:
"Show this number of recent documents" is disabled. Why? How can I enable it? Even the tooltip for it is disabled. >>

I hope this helped you,
Bob Buckland ?
