How do I keep MS Word open but close a document?
When there are multiple documents open in Word, I can close all but the last
one without closing the program. But if there is only one document, when I close it the program closes too. This happens whether I use File: Close or click on the X. (I only click the X for the document, not the one for MS Word.) |

Use the lower x of the two in the right upper corner or file/close

Suzanne: It's 2003.
Charles: Those are the two things I'm already doing. On rare occasions it works. But most of the time, the program closes along with the document. |

How do I keep MS Word open but close a document?
In Word 2003, you should be able to close the last document with the lower X
(if any) or the Close command (or Close button if you've added one), leaving the application open (at least this worked when I just tried it). If you can't, this may have something to do with your setting for Tools | Options | View: Windows in Taskbar, though that's just a guess. I'm a little confused by this because it was my impression that closing the last document *would* close the application and that there was no lower X for the last document open; this must have been the case in Word 2002 and fixed in Word 2003. The reason I actually hadn't noticed this is that I've had and routinely used a Close button on my Standard toolbar since before Word actually even had a button image for it (I had to copy the image from Excel). FWIW, this is a handy habit to get into if you intend to upgrade to Word 2007, where closing the last open document (with the X) does close the application, but you can close with the Close button, leaving the application open. -- Suzanne S.
