Re: Closing Word or Excel in Office 2007

In Office 2003 when you clicked to close word or excel it would ask
you if you wanted to close completely or each document one at a time.
in Office 2007 is there a way to perform the same operation without
having to close each document separately.

TIA

I believe you can only do this if the "Show all windows in the taskbar"
option is unchecked.
It's in options, click "advanced" on the left, second checkbox in the
"display" section.

Well then I guess the other thing to do is just add the "Close all" command
to the "quick access toolbar" that's next to the circle button at the upper
left of the window.
In options, click "customize" on the left, in the "choose commands from:"
dropdown box select "all commands". Go down the list and find and highlight
"Close all", hit the "add" button to add it to the right column. Click OK to
close the options window and the "Close all" command will now be easily
accessible in that toolbar right above where it says "Home".
