SYMPTOMS
When you open or save a file in Microsoft Word 97 through either file transfer protocol (FTP) or hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) on the Internet, the shortcut to the file will not be listed in the Recent folder within the Microsoft Windows folder.

To work around this problem, open or save a file in Microsoft Word 97 through either FTP or HTTP and save the file to the hard disk. This will force a shortcut to appear in the Windows\Recent folder.
