Close everything NOW! Excel 2007 and PowerPoint 2007

Yum, it's like a boss key for Excel and PowerPoint. Double click the Office button in either application and it's like a Close All tool - everything closes quickly and automatically.

Doesn't work in Word, wonder why not?

HI - I just stumbled upon your site while looking for info about changing Excel default options (thanks, by the way!).

In this post, you say "Doesn't work in Word, wonder why not?" I tried it, and double-clicking the Office Button in Word 2007 did close it for me... Does it still not work for you?

I'm bummed. No it doesn't work for me still but I'm glad it worked for you. Best solution for anyone is to give it a try. But do so before you need to use it as a boss key! just in case.

Double clicking the Office button only works in Word if you have one document open, if you have multiple documents open, it only closes one at a time! Don't know why either??

This works in project 2003 too if you double-click on the project icon on the top left corner. Cool trick. Thanks for posting!
