I want to put a button on my toolbar that closes a document without saving
it -- or asking me if I want to save it. I just want to click a button and
the document disappears. How can I do this? Thanks, Jeannine

This is a very unwise thing to do. I guarantee that you will click it
automatically and lose an important document. Documents that have not been
saved cannot be recovered.
However if you insist, add the following macro to a toolbar button

Sub CloseMyFile()
ActiveDocument.Close (DoNotSaveChanges)
End Sub
