| Keep Important Documents Handy at All Times When you click the Office button in the 2007 Microsoft Office system programs Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, you see a Recent Documents list, similar to that which appeared on the File menu in previous releases. However, in the 2007 release, you now see a pushpin icon next to each file name. Click that icon to pin the applicable document to the Recent Documents list so that it's always accessible at a click. When you click the pushpin icon, it changes in appearance to show that the pin has been activated for that document.
Also note that you can change the number of recent documents that appear in the list. To do this, click the Office button, then click [Program] Options (for example, Word Options), and then click Advanced. Scroll down to the Display section, where you'll see the option to change the number of recent documents displayed.
