Does anyone know if there is a way to change the order in which most
recently used files are listed on the File menu? The way it is now, the
first file I load becomes the second when I load another. I'd like the
first file I load to stay #1, the second one to be #2, etc. (WordPerfect
does it this way). Can that be done with MSWord?

Thanks,

Huck

Word lists the files in the order of "recentness." As soon as you open one,
it becomes the most recent. If you want an order that is preserved, try the
Work menu (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm).
