Is it possible to modify Word 2007 so it opens each document in a new
window, like Excel does? I like that aspect of Excel as it means
having closed all documents, the program itself doesn't close.
Go to Office button > Word Options > Advanced, scroll down to the Display
group, and check the box for "Show all windows in the taskbar".
Even without that option, you can close the last document without closing
the program. Use any one of these methods:
- Press the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+W or Ctrl+F4
- Use only the lower of the two X buttons in the upper right corner, the one
in the same row as the ribbon tabs (this exists only if the option is not
checked)
- Click the Office button and choose the Close command
- Click the Office button, right-click the Close command, and choose "Add to
Quick Access Toolbar"; then there will always be a Close button on the Quick
Access Toolbar to use instead of the X button
