| <h3>The list of recently opened files is too short. I need to see more than the default 4 items on this list. How do I achieve this?</h3> |
| <p>The easiest way to increase the size of this list is to use a macro. For example, <a href="http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#100070">Recent Files List Changer Macro</a><br> |
| If using a macro is inconvient or you simply want to dig into OpenOffice.org, here's how:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>You need to edit one of the configuration files. Before you do that, close all OOo windows, and also make sure that the Quickstarter is closed, too.</li> |
| <li>Now, on your computer, search for the file "...\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu." If you find more than one file named "Common.xcu", make sure it's in the path specified here.</li> |
| <li>In this file, look for the line:<br> |
| <code><br><node oor:name="History"><br></code><br></li> |
| <li>Now, directly after this line, add the following lines:<br> |
| <code><br><prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:type="xs:int"><br> |
| <value>10</value><br> |
| </prop><br></code><br></li> |
| <li>Save.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Once you've opened and closed the next file in OOo, the list of recently opened files will |
| have grown by one line. Its maximum number of items will be the value you've specified; in the above example that's 10.</p> |
