Microsoft Word 2007

Ok this may be a stupid question, but it's really irritating me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to close a Word document, but keep Word open.

Example, I'm working on one document and finish it, so I want to close it and open a different document, but I can't figure out how to do that without it opening an entirely new Word window.

Used to, I could just click a small X in the upper right corner (not the main X that closes the program, just one to close the document) but I cannot do that anymore?

If anybody here knows what I'm talking about and can help, it's greatly appreciated.

 

See if this does it.

1. Open a document in Microsoft Office Word 2007.

2. Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Advanced.

3. Under Display, "uncheck" the Show all windows in the taskbar check box.

4. Click OK.

Thank you Steve, that did the trick!

 

Good deal.

FYI:

When word is open you will see two sets of _ - X boxes in the upper left corner one set the highest set minimizes or closes word the lower set minimizes or closes the document.

 

are you blond?
