How to Open Recent Documents in Word
Microsoft Word contains a Recent Documents list that enables you to quickly find and open documents that were recently closed. This feature saves you the trouble of navigating to the document each time you want to access the Word file. By default, Word lists up to 25 recent documents, but you can change that value to list up to 50 documents. If this option is changed to zero, then the Recent Documents feature is disabled.
