Description

The Std CloseActiveWindow command closes the active window. To close a document all its windows must be closed.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Select the File → Close option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+F4.
  2. To close a document: repeat this for all windows belonging to it.
  3. When closing the last window of a document that has not been saved, a dialog box will prompt you to save it:
    • Press the Save button to save the document. If required enter a filename first.
    • Press the Discard button to discard the document and lose all changes.

Options

  • When the dialog box is displayed: press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.

Notes
