Thanks Brian, I tried what you suggested. I tried opening and saving documents in both writer, and Calc. I still have the same results, in recent documents is is no documents. Thanks for trying.

Writer 3.10 is not keeping track of the recent documents. Is there something that I am supposed to turn on? Is anyone else having this trouble? I don't know when the problem started, I just know that when I opened the writer this last seven or eight times there were no recent documents and writer.

Sorry, I forgot about that. I running windows XP.

This information is apparently stored in one of the per-user configuration files. One possibility is that this file has become corrupted or lost. If you delete such files, OpenOffice will often create new copies for you. This is very much a guess, but you might like to try this:
o  Close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter.
o Rename C:\Documents and Settings\<login-name>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu - where <login-name> is the name of the account you use. (This way, you can recover the file if the scheme fails.)
o  Restart OpenOffice and test.

Application Data is a hidden folder, so you may have to turn on the display of hidden items in order to browse to and through it.

I trust this helps.
