Horrible command, as it makes it a long winded business to quit Word. But theres a simple solution assign Alt+F4 to FileExit instead. Quits Microsoft Word and prompts to save the documents (does intercept the menu item, but not the keyboard shortcut, or the x button. An AutoExit macro is usually a better way of intercepting this). Creates a new document based on the Normal template. Opens an existing document or template Changes the page setup of the selected sections <9>
