Thanks in advance to whomever may be able to help. You can _close_ a document without closing Word by pressing Ctrl+W or Ctrl+F4, or using the Close item on the menu from the Office button. Or you can add a Close button to the Quick Access Toolbar. You can't _delete_ an open document. Once it's closed, you can delete its file from the disk by going to the Open dialog or the Save As dialog, or by using Windows Explorer. -- 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. |

Cool! Thanks. Is there any way to add that button to the toolbar?

How do I delete a Word document without closing Word (2007)?
Answered my own question. Scary. ;-)
It was not in the popular options. To anyone else looking to do the same thing - you have to click on ALL OPTIONS before that choice appears.

Of course, it is completely logical that Close would not be a popular
choice! g Terry Farrell "Candy" wrote in message ... Answered my own question. Scary. ;-) It was not in the popular options.

How do I delete a Word document without closing Word (2007)?
Probably but I admit I haven't done that yet. I feel the need to be a lot
more comfortable with the default ribbon before I go tweaking it to suit my needs. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Candy" wrote in message ...

How do I delete a Word document without closing Word (2007)?
You can right-click the Close command on the Office button menu and choose "Add
to Quick Access Toolbar". That will give you the same button you already found in the Customize dialog, but more easily. Almost everything you see in Word can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar that way. But you need the Customize dialog for commands that aren't on the ribbon and for macros.

How do I delete a Word document without closing Word (2007)?
I'm not ready to go there yet. I'm still fumbling around a bit to find the
basics. Once I feel good about my skills, I'll start modifying the ribbon. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

How do I delete a Word document without closing Word (2007)?
This isn't about modifying the ribbon -- that's a whole other topic, and one
that Microsoft has made so complicated that only developers and other geeks will ever go there. Adding and removing buttons on the Quick Access Toolbar (which is technically not part of the ribbon) is very easy, usually one right-click and one left-click.
