If you work on a lot of Word documents and find it time consuming searching for a document you worked on earlier in the day, there is a way that you can adjust how many Recent Documents are listed when you select File – Open Recent.

1. Open MS Word, click File and select Options
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. Scroll down until you reach the ‘Display’ section
4. Here is where you can adjust the option ‘Show this number of Recent Documents’
5. Click OK to save your changes.

You will need to shut down and restart Word for these changes to take effect.
