Recent Documents Forgotten

Running CS6 on XP SP3 and ever since daylight saving finished on the east coast of Australia (nearly a week ago) every morning on startup InDesign asks if I wish to remember the recent documents list.
Can anyone tell me how I can avoid this box popping up every time InDesign is launched.

Try trashing the prefs (or at least the InDesign SavedData file, where th list is stored -- see Replace Your Preferences), but keep in mind this will remove the current recent list and it need to be rebuilt as you work.

I am trying to open a recent document in Pages. It says I need a newer version of Pages to open it. When I try to install newer versionit says I already have pages and this computer (Mac) and says to go to software update. There is no update being shown.

I am trying to open a recent document in Pages. It says I need a newer version of pages to open document. When I go to install pages it says I already have on this computer and to check software updates. There are no updates showing. Now what?? I can't open any of my documents.

you need a newer version of pages to open this document

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents

11.4.0 How to CLEAR Recent Documents? Prior version had a delete option. Run 4.1.1 on a 64Gb Excite tablet. Thanks

I just updated my tablet to the new version. I find no options to clear/delete Recent Documents. Where do I find that option? Or do they self de-solve in time?
Thanks

This is Senko from earlier in the thread something went wrong somewhere and after a few attempts to retrieve a lost password and email to that aodbreader-android address (failed every time) I gave up and made a new account.
I use a large amount of manuals and pdfs in my work and will often open 10+ different ones a day. Previously I could regularly clear recent documents so I only had the ones I was using at the time in recent documents but I had the original I could reopen if needed.
With the removal of this feature recent documents is utterly useless as I have dozens of "recent" documents making it almost impossible to find one specific one as its easy to scroll past the one I want. However deleting the original is no use because I may well need it again a few days later so I'd be constantly deleting and reinstalling files. Compared to the previous convenience of just clearing recent documents so I only actually have the ones relevant to what I'm doing at the time in recents but being able to retrieve another if it turns out to be useful.
Currently I don't bother to use recents at all but will just open documents go to the relevant folder and open the one I want since I have 20+ files in my recents list and don't want to permaenntly delete any of them. This feature is one I would greatly appreciate being restored as it makes my work life much easier.

Whenever i click on word or powerpoint it always brings up a recent document. I want to have the option like when i had first opened the app that gives the options of new document and the variety of different documents. how do i get it back to that?

Hello.
I have no idea and you should contact Microsoft for support. This is Firefox's support forum.
Thank you for your understanding.

Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

Can someone suggest how to repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab). You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99. Click OK. Close InDesign. Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
Problem solved.

Missing recent documents in TextEdit/Preview - File

This issue happened after merging a new Tiger OS with an encrypted home directory (File Vault). I can see my recent docs and apps if I switch them on within the System Preferences. Other apps like BBEdit or Microsoft Excel for example are tracking my recent docs also correctly. But the menu recent documents in the applications TextEdit and Preview remain empty independet how many docs I open and save. I therefore tried another user with the same OS without File Vault and everything behaves like normal. If I make a new document within TextEdit and do save it I can see it in the menu File as recently opened documents. Does anybody have an idea? Please HELP!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 5GB RAM

The recent documents lists for TextEdit and Preview are contained within their respective preferences files. Try deleting these files and see if that solves the problem:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TextEdit.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
(Where the "~/" is your home directory.)

Printed doc topics listed in WinXP Recent Documents list

I recently upgraded to RoboHelp 9 from 7. I generated a printed doc and each topic is listed in the Recent Documents list in Windows XP, as follows:
The file names all begin with $HtmlDoc_Chapter_... By the way, these files can't be found once you click one of the names. It looks like some temporary files made during generation. The point is, I don't want them in my Recent Documents list. How can I prevent this from happening?
Thank you.

Am I right in thinking you are generating a Master Document and Sub Documents?
The problem here is that RoboHelp has to create a number of temporary documents in the process and Word notes any documents created. I doubt that RoboHelp can stop Word doing what it is set up to do. There is no interface option so pPlease follow this link and report it as a bug or feature request, depending on your point of view.

Cs4 Recent documents file path length?

This is bugging me. Why, under Recent Documents, do some files have the entire file path starting with the hard drive name > user name > ad nauseum and other files have just the document name?
Is it because I opened some within the program and the others from the finder? (I open and close so many, I never keep track)
Apparently there is no preference option to chose one format over the other.
Annoying, that's all.

One idea -- don't know if this fits your situation. On other Adobe programs I have seen this when the same document name was opened from different folders. For example if I had a file DocA that was only opened from one folder it would appear in the list as DocA with no path; but if I had opened a file named DocB from folder 10 then later from folder 12, I would see two entries with paths showing those folders.

Adobe Reader LE 1.5 and Deleting Recent Documents

On my E71, I am having difficulty deleting PDFs from the Reader's recent document list. There is no option to remove them, and the files don't seem to be stored anywhere in the filesystem that I can get to via Bluetooth or the File Manager.
Any ideas? I hate to have my memory occupied by documents that I'll never need again.
Thanks, all!

This is the rare annoying thing i found on N73 too the recent documents list in Adobe reader and real player never gets cleared up initially i found it to happen when i viewd a pdf file directly from the email instead of downloading it to my mobile later that was not the case it remained permanently there for all the files irrespective of viewing it online or storing it to the device. Only way to clear that up is to do a format using *#7370# AFAIK(which will erase all ur phone data) it is a silly thing to do for filename staying in the recent viewed list so i live with it

Howto exclude file types from recent documents

I'm using a recent documents stack but it will display a lot of garbage, so the real documents i' want to see there disappear quickly. for instance it would be useful to exclude access to:
- system properties
- zip, tar, tgz, rar etc kinda files
- dmg
etc...
Is there a way of setting up which file types i want to keep there and which files i don't want?
thx

File Menu Recent Documents

Is there a way to change the number of Recent Documents that appear via the File Menu > Recent Documents item? Thanks.

Thanks. It executed, but the menu didn't change. I wonder if the property name changed since the macro was written. Does anybody know the current StarOffice8 property name that controls this feature?

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently. Can I get my document with all my information back?

I suggest the easy stuff first:
1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
2) reboot the computer
After that try opening the same document in another user space
