How can I get Word 2000 to display more recent doc's I worked on in 'File' menu?

[thatsright]

Hi all. You know when you fire up Word 2000 or 2002 or whatever version you have, and under the 'File' menu, at the bottom in between 'Properties' and 'Exit,' Word will display your 4 most recently opened or worked on Word Documents. How can I increase this to show like 8, or hell 27. I know it seems like I would have to go into the Registry and do this as it seems a bit to advanced to do from within the Word application itself.

If anyone knows please let me know how to do this. Thanks a million.

Court.

File > Tools > Options > "General" tab

Go to the 8th item on the list:

"Recently used file list"

And go crazy

Thanks Man! Aparently you can only 'Jack' it up to 9 with Word 2000. Maybe this isn't the case with Office Xp or 2003??

you should probably just organize the docs you use a lot in some sort of special folder..

Yeah man, your probably right. But hey, that would actually be the proactive thing to do and why would I want to do that right I actually asked the original post as the Word docs I use most that I'm referring to is for eBay stuff and I usually do a lot of copying and pasting the HTML portions here and there from each doc. But your right, setting up some sort of cohesive folder structure would make sense. Will I do it, of course not. But heres a Beer to my 'Sensibility Wingman' :beer:

Thanks guys.
