QAT = Quick Access Toolbar. This is the little toolbar just above (or below,
depending on the setting) the ribbon. If you right-click on the QAT, you can
chose between above or below. You can also chose to Customise the QAT.
Selecting this option options the options dialog and you can select from
hundreds of commands to add to the QAT. You can add the CLOSE button the
your QAT then.

You can also use Ctrl+F4 that only closes the active document but leaves the
Word application running. You can also click the Office button and click on
the Close icon there too.

This was my question, as well. Where did my close document 'x' go? If I
forget to open a new document before I try to close the old one, I dump
the
entire program. That is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

What is a QAT and how do I add a "close" button to it, and how does this
work? I would really appreciate any non-tech-speak answer you could give
me
as all I do is type on this machine.

Thanks in advance.

You're not blind. But you can add a Close button to the QAT that will
close
just the document.

When I'm working in Word 07 and I go to close the current document with
the
small "x" on the top right hand corner it closes the word software and
not
just my current document on top. Am I blind as I don't see another "x"
to
close just the current document I'm working on. Do I need to set
something
up
differently than word 03?
