Recently Used File List checkbox is disabled. baobob[ at ]my-deja.com 21.08.2006 22:07:30 My recently-installed Word 2002 (10.2627.2625) Tools / Options / General tab / Recently-used-file-list checkbox is disabled (and its Entries box is blank, instead of my desired Word's-max of 9.) So Word fails to display any MRU files on the File menu. Moreover, it seems to be the ONLY option in Tools / Options that is erroneously disabled. I've searched the Registry for a relevant controlling key but found none. I do have TweakUI installed on my Win 2K, but its Clear Document History isn't enabled (if that's relevant). Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks. ***

Re: Recently Used File List checkbox is disabled. "ab" <ab[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 22.08.2006 10:56:14 I would love to clear the My Recent Documents on the Open box of Word 2003. I have checked Clear Document History in Tweak UI but the list of shortcuts still appears. "Rick" <me[ at ]somewhere.com> wrote in message news:%23j5V4DXxGHA.1272[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

Re: Recently Used File List checkbox is disabled. "ab" <ab[ at ]discussion.microsoft.com> 22.08.2006 13:41:52 It seems the office TweakUI is an old version - "Maintain Document History" appears on my home PC!

Re: Recently Used File List checkbox is disabled. baobob[ at ]my-deja.com 22.08.2006 21:20:55 Thanks to garfield-n-odie for the Microsoft support link. That is an excellent page by MS, and it certainly fixed the problem. TweakUI is an absolute necessity in defeating MS's otherwise perverse, half-thought-out interface defaults. However, TweakUI is awfully non-intuitive here for putting this feature under the "IE" tab. Thanks again. ***

Re: Recently Used File List checkbox is disabled. "ab" <ab[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 23.08.2006 12:49:15 In Word 2003, it's helpful to have a list of 9 previously opened documents but on File Open... My Recent Documents, I would like to remove this list. Is the TweakUI solution a case of 'either/or' or can I not have one without the other? <baobob[ at ]my-deja.com> wrote in message news:1156281655.616802.51280[ at ]h48g2000cwc.googlegroups.com...
