MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2007exit excel step by step
Hi, When I double-click an excel file the following happens: - excel opens - a blank workbook opens (like a new workbook) - the file which I selected opens in Excel so far so good... now I can work on my sheets. When I close excel by the upper 'exit-X' on the screen (the one from excel itself), only the active file closes. When I click again, the blank file closes. Finally when I click again, excel closes... like this. This means I have to click 3x on the 'exit-X' to close my file and exit excel. Anyone has a hint to sove this? I should be able to close excel with one click, no? (if I use the 'X exit excel' command after a click on the 'Office'button (upper left), excel closes as expected). thanks On the Title Bar (top row of Excel window) there is a red X which will close Excel in one go (assuming all files have been saved since any change). On the Menu Bar there is a smaller black X, This closes each Excel window one at a time the way you describe. Are you using the correct one? best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > thanks Yep, I'm sure I am using the correct one.

If so that is default behavior, the only way I know of closing Excel in one fell swoop in Excel 2007 is to customize the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) and attach the close all workbooks icon unto the QAT (customize excel under the office button) SignatureRegards, Peo Sjoblom > Yep, I'm sure I am using the correct one. > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >>> >>> thanks This was my first guess but my colleague at work doesn't have this problem! He uses the same version (MS Office Professional +) of the software and when he uses the 'X', all open excel files as well as excel itself closes. Just like it used to be in previous versions... > Are you using Excel 2007?

Alt + F4 Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F4 Double Click the office button Click the Office button and select Exit I haven't Excel 2007 where I am now so I can't test them SignatureRegards, Peo Sjoblom > This was my first guess but my colleague at work doesn't have this > problem!
