How to stop Word closing when the last document is closed
Can anyone tell me how to stop the 'Word' program closing when the last
document is closed? When in Excel, you can close the last speadsheet and the program stays open waiting for you to either open another or start a new spreadsheet. Can this be set up in Word? HELP PLEASE! Reply also to please. |

How to stop Word closing when the last document is closed
You can use Ctrl+F4 to close documents; this will leave Word running when
closing the final document of a session. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bertyboy" wrote in message news Can anyone tell me how to stop the 'Word' program closing when the last document is closed?

Thanks for that Stefan. Do you know if there is a check box in 'Word
Options' or similar that can make this the default situation?

That irritated me too. You can add the Close (file close) command to your
quick access toolbar. PamC "Bertyboy" wrote: Can anyone tell me how to stop the 'Word' program closing when the last document is closed?

Thanks Pam! A good way of getting around the problem, but I am still a
little dissapointed that MS had not thought of this! Regards Bertyboy "PamC" wrote: That irritated me too. You can add the Close (file close) command to your quick access toolbar.

How to stop Word closing when the last document is closed
You are welcome. I forgot about this option: If you want Word to work like Excel, go to Word options Advanced and in the Display section clear the check box for Show all windows in Taskbar. Each subwindow will have its own close button, and when a subwindow is maximized, the upper right portion of the main window looks a lot like 2003's. I had tried going back to that option right after MS made it available (back in W2002?) but found that I really like seeing what's open in the toolbar. "Bertyboy" wrote: Thanks Pam!
