Open Word without opening a new document

[Sherry]

Every time I open Word and open the document I want, when I close it, the
“new†document that opened when I started up Word stays open and I have to
close it – and it asks if I want to save it before it will shut down.

Create a shortcut for starting Word, and include the /n switch after
....winword.exe" in the Target field. For example:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\WINWORD.EXE" /n
