by In Microsoft Word, the “Close” option in the “File” tab allows you to close the currently open document without exiting Microsoft Word itself. This can be useful when you have multiple documents open, and you want to close one of them while keeping the Word application open. Here’s how to use the “Close” option:
- Open Your Document: Launch Microsoft Word and open the document you want to work with.
- Access the “File” Tab: Click on the “File” tab located in the top left corner of the Word window. This will open the File menu.
- Select “Close”: In the File menu, you’ll see various options on the left side. Look for and select “Close” from the list. This action will close the currently active document.
- Save Changes (if needed): If you’ve made any changes to the document since your last save, Word will prompt you to save those changes. You can choose to save them or discard them, depending on your preference.
- Document Closed: After saving any changes or discarding them, the document will be closed, and you’ll return to the Word application, where you may see a list of other open documents or a blank document, depending on your previous activity.
The “Close” option is handy when you have multiple documents open and want to close one without closing the entire Word application. It allows you to manage your open documents efficiently while keeping the application running for further work or to open other documents.
