Word 2007 - Close all files keyboard shortcut
Hi,
In previous versions of Word I was able to click SHIFT + File + Close All to close all opened documents. Is there any keyboard shortcut available in 2007 that does the same thing? Holding SHIFT, then clicking the Microsoft Office button does not add the option, or change "Close" to "Close All." I know I can add a button to the Quick Access Toolbar to close all documents, but would like to know if the very handy keyboard shortcut still exists, or has it changed? I didn't see it listed in the Help topic for keyboard shortcuts. Thanks! |

You can add it: Open the dialog to customize the Quick Access Toolbar and click the keyboard shortcuts Customize button at the bottom. Set the category to All Commands, select the command FileCloseAll, and assign a keystroke combination (remember to click the Assign button before closing the dialog). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2007 - Close all files keyboard shortcut
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your response. I was aware of the option of assigning a custom keystroke. I am running a training session and wanted to see if the "old" keystroke was still there. Thanks, again for responding - I will show the class how to go through the assignment process. Have a good one!
