Q: Microsoft Word 2016 not opening recent documents

In my previous version of Word, when I launched it would open all the docs that were left open when I quit. This was really great for helping me remember what I was working on when I last shut down my Mac.


It seems to be controlled in Mac’s System Preferences (not in MS Word's preferences.) In the General Preferences pane, I deselected “Close windows when quitting an app,” but still it does not reopen what was open when I quit Word. I have to go into my recent documents and reopen everything individually from my last session.


Anyone know how to fix this? (This doesn't really seem like the right community to post to, but I can't seem to find an appropriate place.)

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
