Sorry, you are right about that, (I was looking at the wrong icon on my QAT). Go to FileOptionsAdvanced and check the box and under the Display section of the dialog, check the box for 'Quickly access this number of Recent Documents' and set the number to 6. Then when you click on File, the last 6 recent documents should appear at the bottom of the backstage view under Options. Yeah, I already had that checked - it doesn't add an 'open recent' icon to the QAT. Recent files are only visible when I'm already 'backstage' and it just gives me the first 17 or so characters of the filenames with no path information. Not useful since I usually iterate version number at the end of the filename.
When I wrote my reply in in March 2013, there was an Open Recent Files command in the Customize Quick Access Toolbar list, and I still have that button on my toolbar. At some time since then, though, the command must have been removed by some update: To get to the same Recent Files list, you could add the plain 'Open' command from the File Tab list, but you would also have to go to File Options Save and clear the check box for 'Don't show the Backstage when opening or saving files'. ('Backstage' is Microsoft's name for all the pages you can reach by clicking the File tab and then clicking any of the items down the left side.) However, this option has the undesirable effect of also showing the Save As page of the Backstage and requiring a bunch of extra mouse clicks whenever you want to save a document for the first time.
