Hi Severin,

Do you remember version 5 of Microsoft Word for Mac, which was
brilliant for its day? And then how Microsoft had its Mac developers
lobotomised between version 5 and 6, so 6 was a port of the DOS
version of Word (I exaggerate how bad it was, but nevertheless...).
One of the regressions in Word 6 was that a blank document would
appear and then, unlike Word 5, you HAD to close it before you opened
another document, otherwise it would stay there forever. Fortunately
this was addressed in future versions of Word, and now if you open a
document while the initial blank Document1 document is on screen, the
Document1 document disappears automatically. So, you don't have to
close it yourself...it gets replaced when Word realises it's unwanted.
