Recent Documents List is what will appear when you click the Office Button on the top left of the workbook in the Microsoft Excel 2007. The list will display all the documents that have just been opened. You can choose to display up to 50 recent documents.
Customising the Recent Document List may come useful when you are sharing computer with others. You might even want to clear the recently used file list altogether. The video below will show you exactly how to do it.
So, in the nutshell, these are the simple steps you need to do to customise the size of your Recent Documents List:
- Click the Office Icon.
- Select Excel Options at the bottom.
- Choose Advanced tab on the left.
- Scroll down till you see Display.
- Then you use the Show This Number of the Recent Documents spin button to increase the number to up to 50.
In addition, to the right of each list in the Recent Documents, there is a grey thumbtack. If you click the thumbtack, you will pin that file to the list. The files will appear in the Recent Documetns List until you unpin them. To upon, simply just click on the thumbtack again.
