Many Microsoft Office programs display the last few


documents you opened in that program so that you can
use those links to quickly access files. This feature is
turned on by default, but you can turn it off, turn it back
on, clear, or adjust the number of files that it displays.

If this feature was turned off and you subsequently turn it


back on, only the files that you open and save after you
turn it on are listed.

If you close a file, and then move it to another location,


such as by using Windows Explorer, the link to that file in
the program in which you created it no longer works. You
must use the Open dialog box to browse to the file to
open it. After you save the file in its new location, that link
is added to the list.
