My Powerpoint 7 is set to display the last 17 files and I'm ok with that ...
but it never shows the files I've opened. I checked the option and it's
enabled ... all. I should add that I often open presented from within
Windows Explorer. Is this why it doesn't find them. I find it easier to
navigate in Expl. than with the open dialogue box.
Thanks
 
I do believe that it depends on the way that you open them. I find that if
in windows explorer, you double click on the file to open it, and the file
was originally stored as a .pps/.ppsx it will open, play and not be saved in
your recent files list. If you right click and select Open, then play the
file as a slideshow it will save the information in the recent files list.
