[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1483201, member: 145676"] The question is relevant because there is a simple answer. If you want to open a blank document or template - then Word does that - even though you find it annoying - that is what Word does by default. If you want to open a recent document then you can right click/ctrl click on the Word Icon in the dock and choose open recent - thus being able to avoid opening a blank document - and open documents you have been working on. So my question is - once you get just the menu screen what do you do? Word's menu doesn't do much by itself. You also didn't say what version of OSX you're on. Because if you are working on multiple documents you could use Mission Control to switch between apps and windows of apps. In Mountain Lion - you could 4 finger swipe down on the Word Icon in the dock and bring up all your open documents in Application Expose. So in essence - I believe you when you say it is annoying that Word pops an empty document when you click the icon. But there may be a myriad of ways around that depending on what you do after you get the blank menu bar - without resorting to scripts. [/QUOTE]
