For some reason the "recently used file list" option is grayed out in Word
and Excel. Any ideas?

(if this is the wrong group to ask this question I apologize and would
appreciate it if you tell me where to go... ahhem... that is, tell me where
to go for help with my "recently used file list" problem) ;-)

TIA
 
Press Shift + F1 and click the menu command. It will tell you why it's greyed out.
Help
Choose either Help - What's This? (Shf + F1) from the menu or the Help Tool from the toolbar. Use Tools - Customise to add this command to the tool bar like Word 95.

To display information that tells you how text is formatted, choose the Help Tool (or What’s This?) and click the text.


To display information about an item in Word’s window or menu command, choose the Help Tool (or What’s This?) and either click the item, menu command, or toolbar or press the keystroke for that command. For greyed out menu items and toolbar buttons this will tell you why the command is greyed out.

Hover the mouse pointer over a toolbar or screen item for a popup tip. (Turn on in Toolbars - Customize - Options).

In dialog boxes click the question mark in the titlebar then the item you want help on.

When a yellow light bulb appears in the Office Assistant, it means there is a tip available. Click the yellow light bulb to see the tip. Right click the assistant to set its options.
