I'm informed by the User that she had to remake File Associations for MS files and reopen old documents for them to reappear in "Recent Documents".  All is now well!

What you need to do is open the documents by using /File /Open and navigating to the directory in which they are stored. When you have opened and closed each of these, the new version of OpenOffice will know to display their names in "Recent Documents"/
