You're right, I didn't look closely enough. But the question still occurs to
me (and I may ask Jensen if I see him in March): Why break something that
worked perfectly well before and was inoffensive? I can't recall anyone ever
complaining before that "I clicked the small X to close the last document,
but Word didn't shut down".

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?
