What version of Word?
If Word 2007, add the Close command (from the All Commands category) to the
Quick Access Toolbar and develop the habit of always using that to close
documents, instead of using the White X with the red background.
In earlier versions of Word, in addition to the White X with the red
background, there is a black X which should be used to close the document.
