While you are working on multiple workbooks, you may also be wondering how you can quickly close all of them, without exiting Excel. The easy way to do this is to hold down the Shift key as you click on the File menu. When you do this, the Close command (which closes a single workbook) instead becomes Close All (which closes all your open workbooks).

Hello anybody,
Is they a shortcut to do this in later versions Office 2010 & 2013
Shift >Click on the task bar opens a new document,
Shift >File >Close only closes the single document not all Word or Excel doc's
Thanks
Gary
Got a version of Excel that uses the menu interface (Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, or Excel 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
