Word 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 "close window" button
Has anyone else had an issue with not having a "close window" button in Word
2007 and Powerpoint 2007? I wondered if my software didn't install correctly or if this feature was eliminated. I'm referring to the "x" button in the upper right hand corner used to close single documents, not the one used to completely close the Word or Powerpoint application. Excel 2007 still has this feature. Thanks. |

Word 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 "close window" button
You don't really close individual documents anymore. Each file you have open
will open in a separate window. So, the X in the very top right does close the individual document. If you have several documents open, closing one should not close all of them.

Word 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 "close window" button
So there is not a good way to close your last document and leave Word 2007
open (with no document open) without going to the menu or shortcut on the left top of the screen? Thanks so much. Mike "DougieVan" wrote: You don't really close individual documents anymore.

Word 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 "close window" button
In each program click the Options button, click the "Word Options" or
"PowerPoint Options" button at the bottom of the dropdown, click the Advanced tab, and look in the Display group. If the option "Show all windows in the Taskbar" is checked, each document has its own window, each one gets a separate button in the Windows Taskbar, and each one has only a single X button that closes only that document. Closing the last document also closes the program. If that option is not checked, then all the documents are displayed in a single window, there's only one button in the Taskbar, and each document has its own small X button. Closing the last document leaves the program running with an empty window. Excel has different behavior, as you noted. -- 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.

That option is grayed out. Is there a simple way to change it or is that a
registry change?

Word 2007 and Powerpoint 2007 "close window" button
It shouldn't be grayed out, and I don't know what would cause that.
Possibly a munged registry entry. A lot of the 2007 stuff is still new enough that we don't know yet how it breaks. In the meantime, you can still close individual windows with the Ctrl+W shortcut or with the Office Button Close item. -- 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.

Thanks.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I believe if you have a document file open then it will not be grayed out. If you just have Word open without a document file open then it is grayed out. At least that is how mine worked. |
