Closing out last Word doc, still leaving Word open
I like the pre-2007 way of displaying an option in the upper-right corner of
closing out the document you are working on, but still leaving the program open. In 2007, however, this isnt the case, as the upper-right corner presents only one x, regardless of how many docs are actually open at the time. I did a search through this forum and came across the suggestion to uncheck the option to €śShow all windows in the taskbar.€ť The problem there is that while I do get the option to close out that last document, without shutting down Word, only the current document is in the taskbar. Is there a way to make Word show all the documents in the taskbar, and also, keep that option of closing out the last document, without shutting down Word? -- Paul MS Office 2007 XP Home SP3 Dell Inspiron 1501 |

Closing out last Word doc, still leaving Word open
The easiest thing is to add the Close button to the QAT and use that to
close the document. -- Suzanne S.

Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org OK I did that. I still would prefer a dual set of symbols to click on in the upper-right corner, because I'd have to either click on that QAT close window all the time (unless I knew for a fact that I had more than one more doc open), which after years of closing out docs in the right corner, seems a bit unnatural. At any rate, thanks again for the answer. -- Paul MS Office 2007 XP Home SP3 Dell Inspiron 1501 |

I can see where it would be unnatural. I've had and used a Close button on
the Standard toolbar in every version of Word for so long now that it is second nature for me--harder for me to think to use the X. -- Suzanne S.

Closing out last Word doc, still leaving Word open
Why not simply use CTRL+F4 or CTRL+W to close the active document? This will
always leave Word open. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul wrote: "Suzanne S.
