Getting Rid of the Startup Document
Every time you start Word from the Start button (in Windows 95 or NT) or the Program Manager (in older versions of Windows), the program is started with a blank document. This is great if you are ready to start a new file. Most people, however, find themselves working with the same files over and over. If you are tired of closing that opening document every time you start Word, then follow these steps if you are using Windows 95 or NT 4.0:
- Using the desktop browser, display the folder containing the shortcut used to start Word.
- Right-click on the shortcut icon. This displays a Context menu for the shortcut.
- Select the Properties option from the Context menu. This displays the shortcut's Properties dialog box.
- Click on the Shortcut tab. The Properties dialog box now appears as shown here.
- At the end of the Target field, add the following: /n (If there are quote marks surrounding the text in the Target field, makes sure you place the /n outside the quote marks.)
- Click on OK.
If you are using an older version of Windows, you can follow these steps from the Program Manager:
- Select the Word program icon; do not open it.
- Select the Properties option from the Program Manager's File menu. You will see a Properties dialog box.
- At the end of the Command Line, add the following: /n
- Click on OK.
Once this change is made, whenever you start Word there will be no blank document.
| This tip applies to Word 6, Word 95, and Word 97. |
