Why can't i use the x to close a document?
Why can't I just click on the x in the top right hand corner to exit a Word
2007 document? If i click the x, the document stays open but every other button in the document will not respond to any clicks then. |

Is this the only symptom of a problem? Are you able to copy and paste in
Word? It is sounding like a corrupt Word Data key. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Typo" wrote in message ... Why can't I just click on the x in the top right hand corner to exit a Word 2007 document?

That's a symptom of a Word Data Key corruption - usually because Word has
been running when updates are installed. Run Regedit and expand by double-clicking to the key below. With DATA selected, press DELETE. Word will automatically recreate a new key when it is restarted. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data Symptoms of Data Key corruption include: €¢ The mouse does not work when you use Word. €¢ You cannot open a Word document from the Search window in Windows Vista. €¢ You cannot open a Word document from Windows Desktop Search. €¢ Word crashes when you try to start or exit Word. €¢ Word crashes when you open the Open dialog box. €¢ Word crashes when you save a document. €¢ Word crashes when you close a document. If you feel uncomfortable editing the registry yourself, Microsoft have a download that will do this for you.

Thanks for providing the link to Fix It. Worked great for me (cyber magic).
