I am using WinXP with SP2.  In OOo1.1.4, when I open the file I 
say yes to enable the macros.  When I click the button to run the 
macro, it runs(?) and I get the message that the number of files has 
been changed.  However, when I go to the File drop down, it still 
shows only four recent files.  If I open additional files, it still only 
show the four most recent.
I suppose it doesn't change when you close OOo (incl. quickstarter) and 
restart?

Does the following info help:
A - 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.

B - 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.

C - In this file, look for the line
<node oor:name="History">
D - Now, directly after this line, add the following lines
<prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:type="xs:int">
<value>10</value>
</prop>
E - Save
F - 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 my example that's 10.

Kid regards,
Cor

I tried using this macro.  It didn't work.  I am using OOo1.1.4.
With Windows XP SP 1, all non SP 2 updates
applied, the File List macro did not work for
me with 1.1.4.
The macro does work (for me) with 1.9.69.
What error are you getting?  It's worked for me for all versions 
since OOo1.1.0. (Redhat 8.0 and FC2)

I just ran it again in Debian Sarge and it works for both OOo1.1.3 
and OOo1.9.77.  I do get a popup asking if I want macros to run, so if 
you've 
already disabled macros, that would prevent it from working.

Check Options >> OpenOffice.org >> Security, what I have 
(1.1.3) is
 Run Macro: According to path list
 Confirm in case of other document sources: checked
These are the default values.
