How do you usually close your Excel workbook window?

What is your answer?

The answer is to click the 'Close' button the small square upper-right corner of the 'Excel Title Bar' immediate above the 'Close Window' button of Excel 'Menu Bar' as the figure shown above.

 Notify:

The both Excel closing methods, clicking on ‘Close Window’ button and pressing the ‘Alt’ + ‘F4’ key buttons, will close the only current opened Excel window, the whole workbook will be closed.

If there is more than one of Excel window still open. The only particular active window will be closed.

Additional:

This will help you to save time for closing the workbook window you have been working on it as a whole.

You can apply to use for another program like Word, Blog, PowerPoint, etc. too.

Be sure, you will have to save your workbook file prior press "Alt + F4" or otherwise you will lose every data that you have just updated onto your Excel workbook.

Do not be confused between "Alt + F4" and "Ctrl + F4". They are different. Think twice before if you are going to use one of them.

That brings me to the end of my posting.

Tip Answer

 a. It's  "[Ctrl] [Shift] [*]".

 b. It's "[Ctrl] [Shift] [F4]".

 c. It's "[ALT] [Shift] [*]".
