How do I close a file without saving it…. I’ve done it before, but can’t find my code for it

ActiveWindow.Close

Then what?

I even tried
ActiveDocumetn.close

No Success

PS… What’s the difference between the two?

1. If you type a space after ActiveDocument.Close, you’ll see that you can enter several arguments, the first of which is SaveChanges. If you enter False (or, more officially, wdDoNotSaveChanges), the document will not be saved:

ActiveDocument.Close False

2. You can open more than one window on the same document (Window | New Window). If so, ActiveWindow.Close will only close one of these windows, the rest (and hence the document) will stay open. If you have only one window on a document, ActiveWindow.Close and ActiveDocument.Close are more or less equivalent.
