Where is "Recently Used Fonts"?

Default Where is "Recently Used Fonts"?

As I recall from Office 2010 in Windows, in Word there used to be a "recently used font" option in the dropdown fonts menu. I'm in MS Office 2016 for Mac now, and I don't see it. How can I get that back? Thanks.

Your screen capture shows a Recent Fonts section four lines under the Font Collections you circled.

Can't believe I didn't see that. Still, it's grayed out, and in some documents, it isn't there at all. How do I get it back so that I can actually choose recently used fonts?

You don't suppose the heading might be greyed out because you shouldn't be able to select the heading? The actual font listed under it (Tahoma) appears selectable as it should be.

I make the same interpretation as Guessed/Andrew: "Recent Fonts" is the heading and there is currently only one recent font (Tahoma).
