1. I never was able to read the reply to my question about setting the ruler
to inches... (sent to my email- and although I clicked on the link it took me
nowhere!) and never found the answer inthis forum either . . though one could
die of waiting I eventually tracked down the instruction... in the help

my question now is:
How can I close the page I am working on.. without having to close down the
whole program? . . . it does seem a little crazy that I cannot work on a
document and then simply close it but that when I wish to start a new
document I have to open up the whole program again ! it is most annoying

You do this in Word 2007 almost the same way as in earlier versions of Word:
Click on the orb and select Close. (In earlier versions of Word: Click on
File and select Close.)

Thank you for your reply.
Once again I find Word 2007 far more complicated ... 2 clicks instead of the
1 in previous versions.

Right-click on "close" and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar.

There - one click instead of two!

Two other thoughts;

One Click: Office Button Word Options - Advanced, clear the check on "Show
all windows in the Taskbar". That will give you the familiar X on the Menu
Bar, which is what you're accustomed to looking for in the past.

No Clicks: Use Control+W to close the current document window.
