How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
In previous Microsoft Office applications, I could close a particular
document by clicking on the X in the second line on top and still keep Word open. How do I do that in Word 2007?. |

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
Yeah, this is a real PITA that purportedly is "unavoidable";-)
You basically have at least two options: 1- Use the Office Button's Close command, or 2- right-click the QAT & go into the Customize... Options, then select Commands Not In The Ribbon from the Choose... List. Add either the Close/Close All command or the Close Window command to the QAT.

A bit of a quicker approach for the Close command would be to right-click the Close command under the Office Button and then click "Add to Quick Access Toolbar". :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
Word 07 by default goes into "Single Document Interface" (SDI) mode, which
means that each doc gets opened in its own top-level window. What you want is the MDI mode, which can open and display multiple docs in one top-level window. In that mode, you will get a Close icon on the second line, which applies to the active doc only. To switch to MDI, go to Word Options, Advanced, and change the setting for "All Windows in Task Bar" - my Off2007 installation is broken at the moment, so I can't give you specific chapter and verse.

Yes, it's there in the Display group: Show All Windows in Task Bar - clear
the check. Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 12/31/07 4:43 PM, in article , "ww3663" wrote: I could not find the SDI/MDI options in Word Options Advanced. Happy New Year to you also.

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
Yes, Word 2003 has the same setting in Tools Options View - Windows in
Taskbar, but for this issue it's irrelevant. In that version neither setting causes you to lose the Close button (X) at the right end of the Menu bar when only one doc is open, which is what happens in 2007.

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
Yabbut I'd like it to look like Word Mac 2000, where all the document
windows appear to be in a single Word window. (There's a note about this difference in the opening pages of my giant aftermarket Word manual.)

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
Well, now I'm at a total loss as to what you are seeking because there was
no "Word Mac 2000". Current version for Mac is 2004; preceded by X; preceded by 2001; preceded by 98. Word 2000 is a Windows version available as a standalone and as a part of Office 2000. I honestly don't recall how Word 2000 displayed the document windows & no longer have an installation on which to refresh my [feeble] memory, but perhaps clearing the check will get you close to what you want. I doubt it will mimic exactly the 2000 behavior due to the major overhaul in 2002/2003 designed for the XP version of Windows. The only other thing I can suggest - which still may not be what you want - is to set your Windows Appearance/Theme property to Windows Classic Style... Keeping in mind that doing so will affect the entire environment, not just any one program.

How do I keep an application open while closing a document?
All right, 2001.
"Mac" was obviously the operative term in the identification. "Classic appearance" means nothing to me, since I had no contact with Windows between 1992 and 2005. I did change the "Theme" from the blue one to the silver one. On Jan 1, 9:22*am, CyberTaz wrote: Well, now I'm at a total loss as to what you are seeking because there was no "Word Mac 2000".
