well, actually it was better (in the previous versions) ! why make it worse ?

I realise that having followed the steps to obtain the X "Close Window" in
the top right corner of my screen, and then assigning it to the Quick
Access
Toolbar . . . then returning to the Word Options and re-checking the "show
all windows in the taskbar" disables the function from working in the QAT
. .
. can anyone tell me how to reassign a working "Close Window" X in the
QAT.
Thank you for your help.

I really am highly disappointed with Office 2007 [a newbie to this
version -
I've had it less than a week] and I do not find it in the least bit
intuitive
. . . it is a steep learning curve and an absolute pain!

. . . having tried the idea of reinstating the familiar X to the top
right
hand corner . . . why should this be at the expense of losing the
documents
on show in the taskbar?
. . . instead I elected to put the 'close window' on the quick access
toolbar. . . BUT it does nothing - it is greyed out and
inaccessible -
any
ideas why this is so?
I should be grateful for any thoughts on the matter

Two other thoughts;

One Click: Office Button> Word Options - Advanced, clear the
check on
"Show
all windows in the Taskbar". That will give you the familiar X
on the
Menu
Bar, which is what you're accustomed to looking for in the past.

No Clicks: Use Control+W to close the current document window.

Once again I find Word 2007 far more complicated ... 2 clicks
instead of
the
1 in previous versions.

You do this in Word 2007 almost the same way as in earlier
versions
of
Word:
Click on the orb and select Close. (In earlier versions of
Word:
Click
on
File and select Close.)

1. I never was able to read the reply to my question about
setting the
ruler
to inches... (sent to my email- and although I clicked on the
link
it
took
me
nowhere!) and never found the answer inthis forum either . .
though one
could
die of waiting I eventually tracked down the instruction...
in the
help

my question now is:
How can I close the page I am working on.. without having to
close
down
the
whole program? . . . it does seem a little crazy that I
cannot
work
on a
document and then simply close it but that when I wish to
start a
new
document I have to open up the whole program again ! it is
most
annoying
