Thanks for the reply Tim. This is a good way of doing this if we create a
global macro for all users to execute. Is there a way provided by Excel for
an end user to do this? I guess I am looking for a Ribbon path for doing
this.

You can use this macro:
Sub Close_All_Open_Workbooks()
Dim I

For I = 1 To Application.Workbooks.Count
Application.Workbooks(I).Close
Next

End Sub

Is there a way to close all workbooks without exiting excel? I have found
where you can exit excel and it will close all workbooks. I have a scenario
where it is desirable to close all open workbooks and keep excel running.

Anyone know of a way of doing this without closing each workbook individually?
