So, in the nutshell, these are the simple steps you need to do to customise the size of your Recent Documents List:
  1. Click the Office Icon.
  2. Select Excel Options at the bottom.
  3. Choose Advanced tab on the left.
  4. Scroll down till you see Display.
  5. 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.

    Not sure but this doesn't work for me.
    Despite being an Admin of the machine, it always reverts to 9 in the list when I set it to say 29. And if you have 9 pinned items you don't see any of the MRU documents.

    Whatever method is used, always makes sure that the light moves down around and into your
    heart, but with the stressful lifestyles that many people lack.
