It happens when I close the last file open. I use Word 2003. I use a Close
File icon on the toolbar to close the files. When I click on this icon and
close the last file I have open, the program closes too and I have to reopen
Word.

Is that any file when more than one file is open, or when you close the
single file that is open

What version of Word? For some stupid reason that behaviour has been
implemented in Word 2007. The way around it there is to add the File Close
icon to the QAT and use that to close documents.

When I close a file, Word program automatically closes. If I want to open
another file, I have to re-open Word. How can I leave Word open all the
time
and open/close files whenever I want?
