Expand your Recent Documents list in Word, Excel and PowerPoint

The newer File | Open panes include a Search option to quickly find Recent Documents by name.  That means it’s practical to expand the Recent Docs list to a higher or maximum value in Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

In any of the three programs go to File | Options | Advanced | Display.

Over time, you’ll have more recent documents to find.
