Word 2007 Document Close
Why does the new version of Word omit the "x" in the upper right corner of
the document that was used to close the document. I do not want to always have to open the Office Button to close the document. MS fixed something that wasn't broken apparently. |

: Why does the new version of Word omit the "x" in the upper right corner of the document that was used to close the document. I do not want to always have to open the Office Button to close the document. MS fixed something that wasn't broken apparently. I haven't spent time with Word 2007, but in Excel 2007 most of the old keyboard shortcuts still work. I'll bet Ctrl-W(*) will work to close the current document in Word 2007 -- it's worth a try anyway. (*) Oddly, Ctrl-W is *not* shown on Word 2003's File menu as a shortcut for Close, but I've just now tried it and it works. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ |

Word 2007 Document Close
Simply add the Close button to your QAT. The 'x' is missing because Word
2007 (like some previous versions) uses Single Document Interface (SDI) and not MDI. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Losing Patience" wrote in message news Why does the new version of Word omit the "x" in the upper right corner of the document that was used to close the document.

Seems to me Microsoft could put that "simple" solution in their Help file --
but try searching Help for "close a document" and you get nothing that remotely refers to it. "Terry Farrell" wrote: Simply add the Close button to your QAT.

I think there was considerable discussion of this during development, and
there were some technical obstacles it was impossible or impractical to overcome. -- Suzanne S.

"CyberTaz" wrote in message .. . And to make matters worse, some of the Office 2007 apps *do* use the MDI - Excel, for example... You'd think they'd at least be _consistent_ throughout the suite %{ - what was that old "left hand / right hand" thing?
