Default How do I close document without closing Word itself?

I think I'm being particularly stupid, but having just loaded Word 2007 I
seem to be unable to close the document I've been working on without the
whole programme shutting down. In Word 2003 there were two separate 'close'
buttons - one for the document and one for the programme, but I've been
unable to figure it out so far in 2007 and it's driving me nuts! Can anyone
help??

You need to add the Close command tool to your Quick Access Toolbar.

Click on the Office Button and then on Close at the bottom LEFT.

Thanks very much, Terry - that's done the trick!

Thanks to Gordon for his advice, too.

I think there are two buttons in Word 2007 as well -- I know there
are in Excel 2007.

But regardless, Ctrl-W or Ctrl-F4 will close the current document
(with a prompt to save it if it's been changed).
