Default How do I keep an application open while closing a document?

Well, now I'm at a total loss as to what you are seeking because there was
no "Word Mac 2000". Current version for Mac is 2004; preceded by X; preceded
by 2001; preceded by 98. Word 2000 is a Windows version available as a
standalone and as a part of Office 2000.

I honestly don't recall how Word 2000 displayed the document windows & no
longer have an installation on which to refresh my [feeble] memory, but
perhaps clearing the check will get you close to what you want. I doubt it
will mimic exactly the 2000 behavior due to the major overhaul in 2002/2003
designed for the XP version of Windows.

The only other thing I can suggest - which still may not be what you want -
is to set your Windows Appearance/Theme property to Windows Classic Style...
Keeping in mind that doing so will affect the entire environment, not just
any one program.

Yabbut I'd like it to look like Word Mac 2000, where all the document
windows appear to be in a single Word window. (There's a note about
this difference in the opening pages of my giant aftermarket Word
manual.)

Yes, Word 2003 has the same setting in Tools Options View - Windows in
Taskbar, but for this issue it's irrelevant. In that version neither setting
causes you to lose the Close button (X) at the right end of the Menu bar
when only one doc is open, which is what happens in 2007.

Word 07 by default goes into "Single Document Interface" (SDI) mode, which
means that each doc gets opened in its own top-level window. What you want
is
the MDI mode, which can open and display multiple docs in one top-level
window. In that mode, you will get a Close icon on the second line, which
applies to the active doc only. To switch to MDI, go to Word Options,
Advanced, and change the setting for "All Windows in Task Bar" - my Off2007
installation is broken at the moment, so I can't give you specific chapter
and verse.


Can you do that in Word2003?


Happy New Year!
