Make "File" drop-down menu display more than just 9 files.
For years, I wished WP's drop-down "File" menu could display more than just 9 of the last-used files.
So, after that menu drops, kindly enable it to open further - but in a horizontal direction. That way it can list much more than just 9 files!

I also wish the drop-down "File" menu could display more than just 9 of the last-used files. In fact, if it would display the last 9, that would be helpful. I tried to enable the window to open further - in a horizontal direction, but nothing I tried worked. Please give more information about how to do that. Do I need to do it each time? Will it stay in the new configuration? How do I get back to displaying the most recent 9 files (I see only 1)? Do I need to delete some of the options (above) in the list? If so, how do I do that. Please be specific. I thought that enabling it to "open further", as recommended meant that it was expandable (just click and drag), but that didn't work.
