Office bug - closing software opens a New File

Every time I quit software from Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc.), it automatically opens a New File.
So essentially, I have to close every MS Office twice for every use.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm not sure if it's related, but this only started happening after I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion.

When you shut down an application in MS Office, the next time you start the application, it opens a new document?

Or, when you close a MS document, it opens a new one?

Anyway... Open System Preferences, General, remove the check from the box that says "Restore windows when quitting........."

How are you "quitting" MS Office, could you describe that please?

Your suggestion worked.
Thanks very much! That was really becoming a nuisance.
