Hi,
I am using MS Office 2010 and I had just upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. After the upgrade, I had observed that each time I open my MS Word/Excel, it keeps opening those previous file that I had opened before.
How can i stop this? I hope to revert to the old times where each time i open Word/Excel, it would be a new document and NOT it automatically open those previous files.
Pls advise.
Thank-You
Roy

OMG! File-Close! Imagine! Problem solved! 12 years if OSX and that never occurred to me!
Oh, wait! Yeah, that was the first thing I did 2 years ago. There's a problem with permissions dude. Maybe read the thread?
Mark -that thing is amazing! Thank you so much for making it.🙂
If you hold down OPTION and CMD/Apple keys then press W it will close all the windows you have open in an application. Then I go to file menu and select Quit and Keep Windows open while holding the OPTION key.
Best,

Kadorkensupport's solution worked perfectly. Thanks, kadorkensupport!
Thank You! This worked for me.
This one worked for me, thanks for the tip!
This problem was annoying and when I found this thread I also found a solution...
Open Excel, and then go to Preferences (Command+,) then you should check if you have anything in the line "At startup, open all files in:"
I don't know when I made it, but I was fighting this for months until today 🙂
None of the above worked for me.
Turns out it was a Lion Server: Access control lists (ACLs) issue.
Fixed it by removing Access Control on the directory in question by opening a terminal and typing:
sudo chmod -R -N ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Holding shift down while starting Word 11 running Yosemite 10.10.4 worked-Thanks A. Timleck! Also--the next time i opened it, the annoying 3/4 document windows did NO come back. Easy fix!
stop office opening previous file
