Microsoft Word recent list

[novicegeek]

Evening all,

I have my option in Word turned off for saving in OneDrive, so everything saves to my computer. But, just yesterday, when I clicked "File," and then "Open," it showed all of the documents that had previously been saved to my OneDrive, and none that I had recently opened.

Has anyone else been vexed with this issue? And is there something that I can do to make Word show me the actual recent documents, instead of ones from a month ago?

Google was no help, so I am turning to you guys. Thanks.

Did by chance you do a system restore or clear most recent docs?

Nope. I don't even think I've had an update, though I can't be sure of that. I really do not recollect; however, I did not do a system restore and right off the top of my head, I don't think I know how to clear recent documents.
