INTRODUCTION When you finish working on a document, you can close it and continue to work on other documents. You can close a file with or without saving changes. If you have been working in a document and you try to close it, Word asks you whether you want to save the document before it closes. | TIP Grayed-out Buttons When Word has no documents open, only a few buttons are available on the Standard toolbar. The other buttons are grayed out, meaning their features are not currently available. | TIP No Save Click Cancel to continue working in the document. Otherwise, click No if you want to close your document but don't want to save your changes; in this case the document reverts to the previously saved version. | |
