SYMPTOMS
PowerPoint and Excel documents are not displayed on the Recent Documents submenu on the Apple menu.



WORKAROUND
All the recently used PowerPoint or Excel files are displayed in the Recently Used File List on the File menu for each program.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



The Apple Menu Options Control Panel
The Apple Menu Options control panel keeps track of recently used items in three categories: documents, applications, and servers. There is a check box that turns all three categories on or off. For each category, you can specify up to 99 items to be included on its submenu.

Using the Recent items option creates three folders inside the Apple Menu Items folder, one for each category. As applications or documents are opened or file servers are logged on to, an alias for the item is placed in the appropriate folder, creating a submenu for the Apple menu.

To turn off a single category, for example the Servers category, either delete the numerical value in the text box or type a value of zero.
