MS Word and Excel question

[[AK]Clay]

My "recently used file list" in MS word 2K isn't working and I can't figure out why. Nothing shows up. I see the option under "tools/options/general" to turn this back on, but it's greyed out and won't let me click it. Any tips on how to turn this back on?
Thanks
