Why does Word close every time I close a document?

Every time I close a document in Word, it closes the whole program. How can
I prevent this happening?

Every time I close a document in Word, it closes the whole program.
How can I prevent this happening?

Are you using Word 2007? (The difference is important.)

Instead of clicking the X in the upper right corner, use one of these...

- Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+F4 or Ctrl+W

- Click the Office button and click Close instead of Exit Word

- Click the Office button and right-click Close, and choose Add to Quick
Access Toolbar; then use the new button
