Save or Close All Open Documents At Once

Summary: Need to save or close all open Microsoft Word 2003 documents simultaneously? This shortcut may help.

If you have many Microsoft Word 2003 documents open, it may be a pain to have to go to each individual window to save and/or close the document. What if you could do all the above with one command?

Hold down the Shift key while selecting the “File” menu. This replaces the default “Save” and “Close” commands with “Save All” and “Close All”, which should do exactly what you need.
