Save All and Close All Commands in Word Including MS Word 2007.
In the previous version of Microsoft Word you just have to press the Shift key and hold it when you click on the File menu and the menu displays the Save All and Close All commands. This is a pretty handy trick.
But unfortunately these commands are not available on the Word 2007 Ribbon; you will need to add these commands to the Quick Access toolbar to use them.
The easiest way to do this is by clicking the small down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar and selecting More Commands.

Click on Customize the left column.
