Exiting Word

The fastest way to exit Word is to click the application's Close button, which is represented as an X icon. Two Close buttons appear in the upper-right corner. This can be a little confusing. The top one is the application Close button; the bottom one is the document Close button.

To exit Word, follow these steps:

1. Click the application Close button. Before you close the program, Word prompts you to save any unsaved changes (in every open document window).

2. If necessary, give filenames to any documents that you have not yet saved and named.
