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? |

From the FILE menu. Have you looked there?

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. -- 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.

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.

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". -- 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.

Hi Jay
Jay Freedman wrote: 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". Good point. IIRC it was Microsoft that started to teach users not to think/work application-centric (first start app, then open file in it), but document-centric (double-click the document, and whoever "owns" that data will gladly open up with it). At least on a modern computer, an Office app will start pretty fast -- no need to keep it open all the time. [The AV tools is a different thing, but they will kick in anyway when you open a file no matter whethere the app was open before or not.] 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
