Hazel B,
You need to add the 'Close' command to your Quick Access Toolbar. Click on
the change qat button at the end of the qat toolbar, choose all commands,
browse for the close command and add it.
You can of course also use the old short-cut ctrl+f4 to close the window. Or
use the Office-button and choose close there.

Herb, how do I do this in 2007? I can't find the View option or Windows
in
Taskbar?

How are you closing the file?

It sounds like you might prefer to have Windows in Taskbar turned off,
so
that you get separate X buttons for Word documents and Word itself.
Toos -
Options - View, remove the check next to Windows in Taskbar.

If you prefer a keyboard solution rather than a GUI solution, use
Ctrl+F4
rather than Alt+F4 to close documents.

I have been upgraded to 2003 and now when I close a file in Word, the
program
exits and I have to re-open Word each time. Any ideas on how to keep
this
from happening each time? Thanks
