Using WORD2003 on an XP pc … when I click File\Open I get a screen listing four of my most recent saves. Two questions:

• How can I increase the number of files shown, say to nine?
• Is there a way I can make the listing show, in addition to thes file name, where each document is filed, for example, in C:\ or in MyDocuments?

Do the same fixes work for WORD97 on a W98 pc?

Thanks.

When you click the "File" menu - you should see a list of the Most Recent Used files at the bottom, along with their path. The path may be truncated due to physical width constraints on the file menu.
This list can contain up to 9 files, you can set it by clicking on:

Tools > Options > General Tab

Make sure the entry under Recently used file list is checked, and you can set the number there.

This will appear BEFORE you click the "open" option from the Main Menu

Once you've clicked "open", you get a screen showing all the documents stored under their default location, as specified in:

Tools > Options > File Locations.


Click the modify button to access and, er, modify the defualt paths.
