Recently Used Not Showing in File Open List (Excel and Word)

Office Version: 97

As stated, my Last Used File No Longer Shows in File Open (recently used) List (Excel and Word)
The list exists, just old files.

Thanks
David

You can find the option you're looking for under the “Display” section of the “Advanced” options category. Find the box labeled “Show this number of Recent Documents.” and update the value to the number of documents you wish to see. Hope this helps!

BillyJean0808: Thanks for responding.
That allows one to set the number of recently used available in the list.
My problem is the list use to auto update (FIFO), such that the last opened showed first in the list with each older
opened file further down in the list. The list is NOT updating (i.e. staying static). I toggled off recently used and then
retoggled back on. That cleared the list, so will see what happens.
