Hi all

Hope someone can help. Have had my new imac os x 10.7 about a week now.

Cannot use recent documents in top left of desktop as it shows every single thing I have opened and cannot find a way for it just to show files from certain applications !

When i right click on excel in the doc it will not show recent documents option unless i have excel open.

It does have an option 'show recents' but that does nothing except shows my desktop dimmed with nothing on it.

Windows I could open a recent excel document in just one click as I could go to start - excel - and there it listed all recent excel docs.

Is anyone else using excel or word in office mac and has a solution as how I can just open my most recent docs without having to open excel or word first.

Many thanks for any pointers.
