dockms office
I have had Microsoft Word installed on my mac for years, and it used to be that I could see a list of opened documents just by right-clicking the word icon in the dock. But some time ago, it seems that this functionality disappeared.
Does anyone know why? And is there a way to make it work again?
This appears to have been resolved by:
Yes, it is possible using the following Terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }' && killall -HUP Dock
This adds a stack to the right end of the Dock (before the Trash) that lists your recently-used apps.
Upon right-clicking on the stack, you can choose from multiple recents lists, and change the style of the list, as well as remove it from the Dock. Running the above command multiple times will add multiple stacks to the Dock, which you can customise individually.

This continues to work for me, as long as Word is currently running - 2011 or 2016 editions.
