I've searched for the plist file and cannot find one for iWorks ('09 but updated to date). I've tried the "
defaults write com.apple.pages NSRecentDocumentsLimit 30" command in Terminal to no avail. I've rebooted Pages each time an attempt was made to modify again to no avail.
Short of a complete re-install I'm open to suggestions. Though I guess I could do that as
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 8 GB RAM,
There isn't one for iWork they exist for each of the individual programs: Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
You can not use Spotlight to search for files within the System Libraries.

Thank you for your response. I did find the 'invisible' User Library, however, in the iWork folder there are two additional folders, "Numbers" and "Pages". The Numbers folder has a My Templates folder inside of a Templates folder, both of which are empty. Figures that, I seldom use Numbers and have configure no custom templates.
The Pages folder has a file named "HyphenationExceptions.plist" which I suspect isn't the one for the open recent menu. There is no folder for Keynote.
Further suggestions? Oh this is a purchased product as well. Not a demo.
David,
The number of Recent docments is a User-level System preference:

Jerry, I'm aware of that and have indeed set that number. It doesn't work. Also my pane is different than the example you gave.
David,
That's an interesting difference in the General Preference pane. If I changed something in my system to cause that difference, I don't recall what it was. (As memory begins to fade, I find more and more surprises of my own making.)
If I were you, I would use Titanium's free OnyX to do a thorough maintenance of the system and see if that clears up the problem. Do this only when you have an hour or so to spare in case it takes more time than you expect. In OnyX, there's a tab labeled "Automation" that gives you a menu of maintenance actions that can be triggered to run sequentially. I would do them all.

Jerry,
I think that David is running a pre-release OS & should not be posting such screenshots.
Peggy,
I would have no idea about that. It's a plausible explanation though.

My "Open Recent" menu is always empty in all three iWorks programs.
