ardi Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm trying to turn on the Recent Documents panel when I open Word 2007. I follow the path: Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Display and find the control. It's greyed out and a box comes up and tells me the Administrator has set the group policy so this doesn't work. Arrrrg! I'm the Administrator and can't find anything that tells me what setting to change. A real nuisance that worked fine in Word 2003.Anybody know what to do?Tx, ardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardi Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Maybe I wasn't clear, I WANT a recent documents list. Also I'm running XP, not Vista, and the registry tree does not lead to "FILE MRU" in the path you gave me.Hey, they have really upgraded the graphics on this site. Very nice.
