In MS Word, when you use "X" to close the document, it leaves the other docs
not closed. But in Excel, if I'm working on other xls files, I can't as
easily close the window with that function.

Excel behaves differently than MSWord.

If you want to close the application (including all the open workbooks), then
use the X on the application's window title bar.

If you want to close just one workbook, then use the X on the worksheet window
title bar.

I suppose it would be nice if Word and Excel worked the same. I never use the
worksheet window X, because I don't need it in Word.
