FileCloseOrExit

61
Alt + F4 (Word 97)
FileExit
Quits Microsoft Word and prompts to save the

assigned to FileNew but it isn't, it's assigned to
FileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by
assigning Ctrl+N to the FileNewDialog command. 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).
