Recently used file list

[MilusC]

I have a problem with Excel. Recently, when I click on File, I can no longer see a list of recently opened files. This function used to work but for some reason it doesn't work now. In the area of the File menu where I used to see the list of recently opened files, I now see these two entries:

Acquire Text (OmniPage SE 2.0)...
Acquire Text Settings (OmniPage SE 2.0)...

When I try to turn on the recently used file list function, this is what I see:

Open Excel
Click Tools
Click Options...
Click General tab
The item "Recently used file list:", with the option to select the number of entries, is grayed out/not available. It's turned off and I cannot turn it on.

I have the same problem in Word and PowerPoint. Any ideas about how to turn this function on?

Please send answers and/or ideas to <MilusC@aol.com>

Thank you for your help.

Hello Cal,

On the main menu bar, click on Tools > Options... this bring up the Options dialog. Click the General tab. Look to the left about the the middle of the page for a check box labeled Recently used file list:. If it is not checked, click it to check it. Also check that entries(located to right) is not zero.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
