Synopsis
By default, Word presents a list of the four most recently used (MRU) documents on the File menu for quick access. Just click the filename (or type the corresponding number key) to open the file. If a file shown on the MRU has been moved or deleted, you’ll get an error stating that the document name or path is not valid.
Change the number of documents shown (or turn the feature off altogether) at Tools → Options → General. Change the number of most recently used documents displayed on the File menu to any number between (no MRU list shown) and 9 using Tools → Options → General → Recently Used File List.
The Work Menu
Word also provides a built-in menu named Work that is not displayed by default. Turn it on using Tools → Customize → Commands → Built In Menus and drag the Work command to the Word Menu bar. Add any open document to the Work menu by choosing Work → Add To Work Menu. Add any number of documents to the Work menu and open any document simply by selecting it. See Chapter 3 for details on customizing menus.
