I call up a document, and when I finish reading it there's no way to
get it off the screen!

Esc doesn't work, and there's no way to close it. I am reduced to
closing Word completely and then re-opening!

Please help,
P

(does it show that I hate long URLs that wrap?)

Down in the "Function Key" reference (click to open sections of this web
page page):

Ctl+F4 will close the document but leave Word open if there are other
doucments still open.

Alt+F4 will close Word 10.

Windows at least through Windows 7 applications generally have a small x
at the top right corner of each window that you can click on to close
that window, which would be the equivalent of closing that document or
closing that application.

Alt+F4 and Ctl+F4 work in many applicaitons, as does clicking on the red
x in the upper right corner. (Note: when browsing, these keystrokes
generally work on the browser, not any "application" running inside the
browser.)
