"Recent Documents" list in Word 2007/2010
Is there a programmatic way to access the "Recent Documents" list? I have tried sending keystrokes via the user interface. Since Alt + F activates the Office button/File ribbon, then...
SendKeys "%f"
SendKeys "{right}"
But when I assign the macro to Alt + D(which is how I want this to work), the hotkey Alt + the SendKeys Alt conflict. I have also tried
SendKeys "{F10}" ' an alternative way to focus the ribbon
SendKeys "f"
SendKeys "{right}"
But the hotkey Alt causes the SendKeys statement to send Alt + F10, which by default is AppMaximize. I disabled Alt + F10, but still no luck.
Since the quick-and-dirty solutions are not working, I am hoping to find a more elegant and direct way to access the list of recent documents, and assign it to Alt + D.
