Thanks to all of you for the help. Any recommendations on how to accomplish this via a workflow or is this a non-starter?

Good stuff, thanks to you both. One follow up. I just did this (type excel, action key right arrow, select Recent documents), but when I get to the Recent Documents it's blank and says "there are no documents to show". I tried the same thing in powerpoint and all that shows up is one file that I opened last July (random). Any ideas why this may be the case?

Thanks rounak, but just to clarify: Are you suggesting that I use Alfred to activate excel, then within excel go to recent documents? If yes, I understand this is an option but I'd prefer the following (made up example): Type "RecentExcel" and get a list (within alfred results) of 9 most recently opened excel files Type "RecentPowerpoint" and get a list (within alfred results) of 9 most recently opened Powerpoint files Type "RecentAll" and get a list (within alfred results) of 9 most recently opened Files of ANY type, etc Any idea

Disclaimer: I'm brand new to Alfred so this is possibly a stupid question. I'd like to quickly list all the most recently used files for a particular program. For example: i'd love to type "recent excel" and have it list my last 10 excel docs used or "recent word", etc. I'd be surprised if this didn't exist in the core offering (vs requiring a workflow). Thoughts?
