Office14 Word10 escaping from a file.

Everything else in the Office suite allows closing a file with a small
cross at the top rhs of the page.
Word lacks this!
Is there a SINGLE key to close a file or something simple for the
mouse to click on?

No true. I have the latest version of Word and it still has the cross
on top rhs to close the window. See this pictu

alt-f4 will close a window that has the focus.

If you click the desktop background with the mouse
and then press alt-f4, the shutdown menu for Windows
will appear instead. Don't be hammering the Return
key right after pressing alt-f4, in case that would
select an item in the Shutdown menu that you had not
intended to trigger.

Windows 8.0, the Metro applications were missing
the "X" in the upper right hand corner. Alt-f4 was
my friend back in that era. This was fixed in
Windows 8.1 and the "X" was put back where it
belongs. In Windows 10, the "X" should be in the
upper right hand corner, just like normal. Alt-f4
should not be needed in Windows 10, but it's still
an available option depending on your work habits.

For example, when the Win10 menu subsystem was "broken"
and it had become difficult to get the Power thing
in the lower left corner to work, I uses alt-f4 as
my means of getting to the optional shutdown menu.
Worked a treat. So even though, strictly speaking,
Windows 10 doesn't need alt-f4, there can still be
situations where there is a use for it. It can get you
out of a jam.

I don't know of a SINGLE key but I don't find any difficulty using my
thumb to hold the 'Alt' key and use any finger to press the 'F4' key.

I use contrW but this too requires more concentration.

Thanks to all.

I fixed it by putting the "close" button on the "quick action
toolbar".

I think you need new glasses (or a sensible coloured Window title bar)!

This has nothing to do with Microsoft. You need to change the theme of
your Microsoft Office so that people with vision disabilities (there are
many here because of their advanced age and dementia) can see everything
on their screen.

No, that one shuts down Word, not just the document.

I can't find "colorful" in that field but only:

"Silver"
"Blue" (a pallid washed out azure)
"Black" (The one I have been using)

Where is "colorful", or have I a copy of Word that is not superior?

Hmm.. The version that I'm using under W7 will only show the close icon if you
have more than one document open. If you want to close a single document without
closing Excel itself you have to use the Close menu entry under the Office button.
