Always try the usual with Word. Delete the NORMAL.DOT files and try again.

Under Tools > Options > General, the "Recently Used Files
List" option is grayed out. I do use TweakUI and under
Common Dialogs the option "Remember Previously Used
Filenames" is checked. How do I get Word 2002 to display
the Most Recently Used Files?
