     This was mentioned on this mailing list probably the latter part 
of last year. An extension was first created for OpenOffice.org  before 
Sun was bought by Oracle. The name is History Maker. It will work for LO 
as well. You can get it here:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/HistoryMaster.
     It only changes the number of documents kept on the recent 
document list.
