Default How do I keep Word 2007 open when the files are closed

Close a file using Ctrl-W or the Office Button's Close command.

open but minimised - and not necessarily with any files open - for quick use

machine so this does not keep happening. *The only solution I have found so
far is to have a blank file open at all times, but I don't always remember to
do this.
