Problem With the Jump List - Fails to Work!

Point of order...

That is not a jump list. That is recent documents in the Start Menu.

Are these one and the same, part and parcel?

Sorry I just cleared my list of start menu items - but I'm not sure if we're on the same page.

I'm not getting a list of "recent documents+pinned documents" for my jump list for Windows 07 as I usually did.

Is that what your bug assumes?

Thanks!

[edit]@ Antman: yes I mean recent documents - the "jump list" in the taskbar for word 07 has the task of showing you your recent documents as well as pinned documents - but neither work now

yeah, I felt like writing that too, got me confused at first :)

Hi guys I'm terribly sorry about the confusion I'm causing with the Recent Documents vs. Jump List ---

If you look at my first post again I edited and clarified myself:

Hey sorry for the double post

For those who don't understand my question - I updated the top post again

I would like for my Word 07 jump list and/or recent documents list to look like this example



Thanks a lot!

I think I have the same problem.

I have the Word (2007) icon pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7, and previously when I right clicked it, I could see the list of recently used docs, and I had a few docs permanently pinned to the list. Worked great! However, recently the MRU list and the pinned items disappeared from the Word icon list. Now, when I right click the Word icon on the taskbar, I only see the following items listed:

Microsoft Office Word 2007
Unpin this program from taskbar
Close window.

There's nothing else listed! This problem only seems to affect Word. Other programs (such as other Office apps like Excel) are not affected.

I ran an Office repair but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

One of your Delete or Clear Jumplist Recent Items in Windows 7 is corrupted in AutomaticDestinations-hidden system folder

go to

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

YOu may notice one of the file is huge compare to the other. Delete that or just delete them all.

Details see

Delete or Clear Jumplist Recent Items in Windows 7

Good luck.

I have exactly the same problem that DarrylGittins has, only with Office 2010 and jump list doesn't work in Excel either (still the same way).

Deleting the one file that was over 1MB from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
nor deleting all of the files nor repair install of Office 2010 didn't help either.

Any other suggestions?
