Close Document Without Saving Prompt

Joe528 · #1 10-08-2021, 08:03 AM

Trying to find a way to close a Word doc without saving or getting the prompt to save. Tried making a macro I found elsewhere, but didn't work. Ideally I'd like to assign a button in the quick access ribbon or a keyboard stroke. Any ideas?

Here is a macro, to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut or QAT button:

Code:

Sub CloseNoSave()
     ' Charles Kenyon
    ' https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/47775-close-document-without-saving-prompt.html
    '
     With ActiveDocument
        .Saved = True
        .Close
    End With
End Sub

WOW----IT'S ALIVE, IT'S ALIVE---thank you very much! I learned something new about Word today as I have never used Macros.
