Operation Manual

Closing a document
If there is only one document open and you want to close the document, go to File > Close on the
menu bar or click on the X on the menu bar.
If more than one document is open, go to File > Close on the menu bar or click on the X on the
title bar of the window. The X may be located on either the right or left end of the title bar. When the
last document is open, the X on the menu bar appears.
If the document has not been saved since the last change, a message box is displayed. Choose
whether to save or discard your changes.
Caution
Not saving your document could result in the loss of recently made changes, or
worse still, your entire file.
Closing LibreOffice
To close LibreOffice completely, go to File > Exit on the Menu bar in Windows and Linux operating
systems. In a Mac operating system, go to LibreOffice > Quit LibreOffice on the menu bar.
When you close the last document using the X on the title bar of the window, then LibreOffice will
close completely. A Mac operating system does not have this function; instead, you need to go to
LibreOffice > Quit LibreOffice on the menu bar.
You can also use a keyboard shortcut as follows:
• In Windows and Linux – Ctrl+Q
• In Mac OS X – Command +Q
If any documents have not been saved since the last change, a message box is displayed. Choose
whether to save or discard your changes.
