bmazin Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, I'm really glad the recent documents action is now in the beta. It is working really well with most Applications. With the Microsoft Office apps the action says "no recent documents to show". However when opening the Application and going to File > Open Recent it does display the recent documents. I'm guessing this is to do with the Office apps, but is it possible for you to get the recent documents action to work with them?

DJF3 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You've found your answer but it's worth mentioning that if you open the Office files using Alfred, you'll see a list of these recent documents Ok, so it's official that Alfred will not show (for example) the Recent files that Excel has in the "recent documents" entry of Alfred? That's a shame. It would be very good if it would pickup the recent files from Excel/Word/Powerpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Alfred will present you with all of the Office documents you've opened with Alfred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
