Open office recent files

Do all the sites have the same problem? You can check if the files in other sites have the same problem. May I know if you have made any changes before the problem occurred?

You mentioned "5 different word files, but only 1 of them are showing ", does it mean that those files were not all shown in the recent list of Word application? If so, please open the files on the local to check if the same problem will occur.

Best Regards, Sukie. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Hi Suki, Before I answer your questions, I will give you a bit more information. Word version build As far as I know there should not have been made any changes.

Could you provide the screenshots of them? Hi Sukie, The scenario you describe is consistent with mine. In reply to Rune needs help's post on August 2, Hi Rune, Thank you for providing those detailed information and taking time to do those tests. We appreciate your understanding! Hi Rune, Thanks for your updates. Restart the computer. OpenOffice or OpenOffice. This article discusses how to recover unsaved documents in OpenOffice. Many times applications close before saving work due to any reason such as system updates or computer crashes.

It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. OpenOffice is great software, easy to use and it's free.

OpenOffice is easy to learn. If you are already using another office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice straight away. It can be downloaded and used entirely free of any license fees. OpenOffice may close before you can save your work due to computer crashes, application freezes, and restart from system updates. However, if AutoRecovery is enabled in OpenOffice, your work may be safely stored in a backup folder. Upon restarting the application OpenOffice may prompt you to open the last saved document from backup or you can open the file directly from the backup directory.

Firstly, to test our actual changes, the close of the document will be removed. This will allow us to ensure that the Recent Document list no longer depends on the document close. However, in order to ensure that we have the newly opened document, and not the previously opened copy of it, we will have to change the contents of it before we attempt the load. So the 'close' step will become a 'add something to cell A2' step. When a file is pinned to the list, the pin icon looks like this: In older versions of Office, it looks like this:.

Tip: Click the pin button again to unpin the file. Files pinned to the list are displayed in chronological order, with the most recently used file at the top. If there are files on your recently used list that you'd like to remove, simply right-click them and choose Remove from list.

Caution: Make sure you click Remove from List and not Delete file unless you want to actually remove the file from your entire system. Under Display , in the Show this number of Recent Documents list, click the number of files that you want to display.

Tip: To not see any files in the recently used files list, set the Show this number of Recent Documents list to zero. Starting with Office , your recently used files list synchronizes with your Microsoft Account. That's handy because it means that if you sign in on multiple devices desktop and laptop, for example you have the same files listed in both places for easy access.

If you have an older machine that hasn't been turned on in a while, however, when you bring it online it may synchronize and it's possible that some of the documents from its old list might end up on your current recently used list. Another way we sometimes see this happen is if somebody else, like a family member, uses your computer. If they're signed in as you, any documents they work on would then appear on your recently used list.

The best way to remove these unexpected files is to follow the procedure above, under "Remove an individual file from the recently used file list". Right-click the unexpected files and choose Remove from list.

Right click the file you want to keep, and then select Pin to list , or click the pin icon:. When a file is pinned to the list, the pin icon looks like a push pin viewed from the top:.
