Increase the number of files in recently opened files list

When you open a file in MS Word, it keeps a track of it and displays it in the list of recently opened files in the file menu. But, by default Word displays only the last 4 opened files. 

To increase the number files shown in the list of of recently opened documents, Go to Tools > Options.

From the resulting menu, select the General tab, notice the option ‘Recently used file list’ change the number next to it from 5 to 9.

Next time when you open word it will show your specified number of files in the recently accessed documents list.
