Word and excel work differently.

In excel, you don't want to use that application X to close any single window.
It closes the application.

But you can just use the sheet's window's X to close that window.

When opening and working in multiple workbooks in Excel 2002, each workbook
opens in a separate window. However, when you click on the X in the top
right corner of one workbook, Excel attempts to close all the open workbooks
at once. Is there a way to stop this? Word does not work this way and I
cannot find any reference in the help files on a way to turn this feature
off. Does it require a registry edit?
