Now you mention it .........

Most of the office programs have the small grey x but Publisher and
non-office apps like notebook have the red x.  Hadn't noticed that before.
Perhaps it comes from SP2.
Must be a feature!

My thanks to all who have replied.  I should have been more explicit on my
first post because I didn't mention that I expected Excel to close when I
clicked the program 'X' (maybe with a 'Save' prompt if appropriate) rather
than the workbook 'X'.  Debbie, you were spot on - but, just like David
Grugeon, my installation of Excel doesn't do what yours obviously does -
clicking on the program 'X' closes the workbook only leaving a 'greyed'
(empty) Excel open.  Word 2007 works differently and certainly Excel 2003
(which I previously had on my machine) worked differently.
Incidentally, several responses mentioned the program 'X' being red - mine
is not, it is simply a slightly smaller version of the black workbook 'X'.
So that adds just another 'oddity' to my Excel installation!  Now I'm
confused as to why (apart from customizing/update level effects) the same
program should both look and act differently on different machines!

Thanks & Regards,

Bill Hunt.
