Closing a document

Android/iOS: Not all of the listed methods are available in these versions.

If you want to stop working on a document, you can close it at any time. If the document has been modified since it was last saved, the program automatically asks you if you want to save the document first.

To close a file, you have the following options:

In the ribbon interface

The ribbon tab File contains a Close icon file_close_icon which closes the current document.

Tip: Use the ribbon command View | Windows windows_icon | Close all to close all currently open documents at once.

In the classic menu interface

Choose the menu command File > Close to close the current document.

Tip: Use the menu command Window > Close all to close all currently open documents at once.

In the toolbars interface (Android/iOS only)

In the group File file_open_icon, choose the command Close file_close_icon.

Tip: For tablets, you can close all currently open documents at once via the hamburger menu hamburgermenu by choosing the menu command Window > Close all.

Tabs for documents

FreeOffice: Document tabs are not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

Above the document, you will find a bar with document tabs for all currently open documents. If you click on one of these tabs with the middle mouse button, the corresponding document is closed.

document_tabs

Alternatively, left-click on the x icon displayed on the far right of each tab to close it.

Furthermore: If you right-click on a tab, a small menu appears with commands for closing the current document (Close tab) or all other open documents (Close all other tabs).

Via the keyboard

You can also use the shortcut key Ctrl+F4 or alternatively Ctrl+W to close the current document.

Mac: On a Mac, you have to use the key combination Cmd+F4 or Cmd+W for this purpose.
