Hi Mike...here's what to do...this *should* put it back Go to your Tools menu and choose "Customize"...Click on the "Commands" tab and make sure "File" is selected in the left pane...in the right pane, scroll down til you see "Close", then click on it and hold your mouse button down and drag it out of that box up to your Menu bar and keep your mouse button held down and hover it over the word "File" until the File menu opens...then just drag it down the file menu until you see a line where you want it and let go of your mouse button...then close the Customize box and you should be all set.

There is only New; Open; Save; Save As etc. Any ideas how to get it back? The closed icon has been added as a workaround as I don't like clicking the x in top right hand corner of programme. All suggestions welcome. Thanks.
