Yes. The list is only removed from user interface. You can find this 'PickList' in <Common.xcu> -> <...\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu> You'll find the entries under <node oor:name="PickList">. You may also bring it back to user interface with -> Tools -> Customize -> Add ... In contrast to that, 'History Manager' really restricts the pick list. If you've chosen the value 1, there will be only one entry. Zero isn't available in reality - instead of that you'll get up to four entries in the 'PickList'. Manfred
