(So it might be on FAQ, I looked but could not find it. But that doesnot mean much.)
1 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. 2 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. 3 In this file, look for the line:
<node oor:name="History">
4 Now, directly after this line, add the following lines:
<prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:type="xs:int"> <value>10</value> </prop>
5 Save.
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 the above example that's 10. end of quote
I found 3 files, traced the path, used WordPad to do the changes as it is the text file.
It worked.

That was me, it can be found at <http://openoffice.peschtra.com/ooo_tips_tricks.html#more_recent_files>. Very similar if not identical to the FAQ, I just find the FAQs & the OOo site tough to navigate some days. No offense to anyone intended.
Thanks Peter. Much appreciated. For what it's worth, I share your opinion of the OOo site.
