In MS Office Word 2003 when you click close in File or click the close (x) to
close a document only, Word exits or shuts down each time. I want to close
just the document window and keep the program running.

Use the LOWER X, not the upper X. The lower X is only available when you
have only ONE document open.

I find this happens when you have an Outlook mail open in the background. If
you find the same, try the following in Outlook 2003:

Tools - Options - Mail Format - untick "Use Microsoft Office 2003 to edit
e-mail messages".

Hope this helps.

Cheers
