close a page NOT the program in Word 2007
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:

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

hand corner . . . why should this be at the expense of losing the documents on show in the taskbar? .. . . instead I elected to put the 'close window' on the quick access toolbar. . .

Very strange. What happens if you start Word in Safe Mode? From Start | Run
(Winkey+R), type in winword /a and press enter. Open a doc and see if the Close button is active now.

I realise that having followed the steps to obtain the X "Close Window" in
the top right corner of my screen, and then assigning it to the Quick Access Toolbar . . . then returning to the Word Options and re-checking the "show all windows in the taskbar€ť disables the function from working in the QAT . . .. can anyone tell me how to reassign a working "Close Window" X in the QAT. Thank you for your help. I really am highly disappointed with Office 2007 [a newbie to this version - I've had it less than a week] and I do not find it in the least bit intuitive .. . . it is a steep learning curve and an absolute pain!

Not without losing the Windows in the Taskbar option. You just have to use
one of the many keyboard shortcuts, assign your own keyboard shortcut or add the Close command button to the QAT. Maybe in W2010 you will get your solution. Terry "svanesca" wrote in message ...

You just have to use one of the many keyboard shortcuts, assign your own keyboard shortcut or add the Close command button to the QAT. Maybe in W2010 you will get your solution. Terry "svanesca" wrote in message ... I realise that having followed the steps to obtain the X "Close Window" in the top right corner of my screen, and then assigning it to the Quick Access Toolbar . . . then returning to the Word Options and re-checking the "show all windows in the taskbar€ť disables the function from working in the QAT . . . can anyone tell me how to reassign a working "Close Window" X in the QAT. Thank you for your help. I really am highly disappointed with Office 2007 [a newbie to this version - I've had it less than a week] and I do not find it in the least bit intuitive . . . it is a steep learning curve and an absolute pain!

BUT it does nothing - it is greyed out and inaccessible - any ideas why this is so? I should be grateful for any thoughts on the matter "svanesca" wrote: Thank you for all your replies !

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.

Once again I find Word 2007 far more complicated ... 2 clicks instead of the 1 in previous versions.

(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 |
