Default close word document 2007 without closing program

There are multiple options:
- Office button, close (you can also add this to the QAT via a
right-click on it)
- CTRL-W will close the file
- Office button, Word Options, Advanced, Display section, "Show all
windows in taskbar". If you switch that off, you'll get two Xs again,
but then you will only get one Word icon in the taskbar and not one for
every open Word document.

I have some bad news for you: That's one of the new permanent
annoyances in Word 2007. The only workaround is to keep a scratch
document open at all times, and close that only when you want to close
Word entirely.

In previous versions of Word, I could close a document without closing the
program. In 2007, it seem to have only one [X] at the top right to close the
whole program. How would I just close the document without closing the whole
WORD program?
