1. In Excel 98 I could keep things in icon view and they would remain
alphabetical in recent documents. Now I can't seem to lock this view in.
Anyone know how?
2. Also in the same menu, it used to show 40 or more items, now it only
shows 16, can this be changed?

For the number of items have you tried Tools - Options | General Tab |
Recently used File list: 40

The most you can enter is 9. And that only applies to the drop down menu
from "File". I'm talking about in "open", "my recent documents"

Probably need to raise this question in an Windows Operating System forum as
this is a Windows feature not Excel

I am trying to do this in Excel, under "File", "Open", "My Recent Documents"
However I will see if I can copy this questions to the other forum.

Is there a way I can transfer my original question to another discussion
group without having to re-write it?
