I'm just wondering if I can change the number of files that come up in my recent file list to more than the default of 10. If so, how ?
If not, is there a way to search for a file using a date range ? If so, how.
Thanks

There is an extension to do that. A link to it is in this thread.
OpenOffice 4.1 on Windows 10 and Linux Mint

1 Click Start
2 Type *.odt in the Search box which opens
3 Click See more results to open the window.
4 Click the header of the Date modified column.
Every .odt file is now listed in date order. You can save searches like *.odt (all AOO documents), *.ods (all AOO spreadsheets), or *.o?? (all AOO files) etc. Check Windows Help for more information.
There should be something similar on MacOS - try googling search file date range mac

Re: recent file list
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Finder → Help → Search → search → Topic → Find anything on your Mac
That you are asking such a very basic question about Mac usage suggests to me that you should go to your local library and borrow one of the many "Intro to Mac"-type books. Even one several years old will do since the basics of using Mac OS X haven't changed much in ten years. Some time reviewing the material there will save you hours of frustration and may help you prevent accidental data loss.
