How do I make Word stay open when I close my one open document? lauren38 12/10/2008 3:14:00 PM When I only have one word document open, then go and close it, the whole Word program closes. Is there a setting to make Word remain open, even if no documents are open?

Instead, take your pick of these: Ctrl+W Ctrl+F4 Office button > Close Right-click the Office button > Close command and add it to the Quick Access Toolbar -- 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.

Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 12/10/2008 3:36:22 PM In Word 2003, the last document has two X buttons, one for the document and one for the application, so I imagine you're talking about Word 2007. You can use Office Button | Close or Ctrl+W, or you can add a Close button to the QAT. -- Suzanne S.
