  1. Reopening Word/Excel Documents


    I was just wondering if there's a way to get programs such as Word or Excel to re-open your documents/files you had open before shutting down. I typically have anywhere from 4 to 12 word documents open and I don't shut down my computer anymore because it's a hassle to reopen all of them afterwards. I know there's the recent files section but sometimes I have a document on the right page so when I just hover over the document on the task bar it'll give me the information I need. That just pushes the document out of my recent files list because I'm cycling through so many others.

    :)

  2. Word and Excel documents are slow to open in Windows 10

    Have the same problem, here are my conditions:

    - Windows 10 Professional x64.

    - Office 2007 Ultimate.

    - Opening Word and Excel documents is slow when Word/Excel not currently open/running.

    - Opening the Word/Excel document with Word/Excel already open is fast/normal.

    Solution is the same as reported:

    1) Disable Cortana.

    2) Restart Windows.

    Step 2 is very important.

    Word and Excel documents are slow to open in Windows 10


    in my case, I don't need to restart windows. Closing cortana completely will make opening word and excel files fast like usual.

  4. Reopening Word/Excel Documents

    Quick access recent files VS Excel or Word Recent files

    For the last few days, something weird happens with my office 16 apps, I had about 3 excel documents and 1 word document that I use daily (network files). But since a while, when I close Excel or word, , if I reopen it, even right away, those files
    that I was just using are no longer in the Recent documents and there is a list of files I have never used before instead. But if I go to "Quick Access" through Windows Explorer, the list of the files I normally use (and were open before I closed excel)
    are listed there.

    What can I do to stop this from happening?? besides opening the file directly.

    Thanks.
