When I close out of a document, how do I get Word to automatically open a
blank document?

[Graham Mayor]

The simplest and least problematic method is to add the New command to the
toolbar and click that. Having Word automatically create a new document when
you close a document is possible, but I would imagine that it would get
rather irritating - but if you insist the following macro (in normal.dot)
intercepts the FileClose command to close the document and open a new one.

Sub FileClose()
WordBasic.FileClose
Documents.Add
End Sub

Note, however, that the New (i.e., FileNewDefault) button is on the Standard
toolbar in all Word versions through Word 2003 by default.
