no "recently used files list" in Office 2002 - how to get it back?

N

niteowl

hi all,

I have in the past weeks installed OfficeSuite2002, (for myself and for
friends) on 3 different machines, from 3 different CD's and all of them
are missing the "recently used files list" option. When I go into
Tools/options/General tab" that option is greyed out. This is the same
in Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

If this had happened on just one, I would have suspected a bad
installation CD, but this happened from 3 different CD's..

How do I get that feature working?

thanks,
niteowl

If you are using TweakUI, you need to uncheck the option to clear the recent
documents in the My Documents folder on the Start button.

machines. ?? that make any difference?

Hi Niteowl,

On the IE tab turn on
[x] Add new documents to Documents on Start menu
and see if that helps.
