FileCloseOrExit

61
Alt + F4 (Word 97)

In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make it work).

61
Alt + F4 (Word 97)
FileExit

FileNew
Creates a new document or template (brings up the dialog).

In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed to make it work).
