This may be because you have upgraded from an earlier version of OO to the current version and the current version knows that it has not opened any documents. If you start up OpenOffice and use /File /Open, you can manoeuvre to the directories in which the files are stored. Selecting each file in turn will open it and it will now show on OO's Recent Documents. Alternately, at system level (i.e., in Windows, if that is what you are using, double clicking on each file ought cause it to open in OpenOffice and it should show thereafter on Recent Documents. If the above advice doesn't work, I suggest you bring your query to the OO user help Forum at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ To post a query you must register (a.k.a. subscribe) - your first post will be moderated as an anti-spam measure so may not show up for some small time. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
