Default Closing a file and opening a new blank document

Is there a way to have Word automatically open a new blank document after closing a current document? I am talking about Word 2003 and when you close a document Word leaves a blank (gray) screen. If you want to start a new document you need to start one manually. I would like to be able to close a document and have Word open a new blank document automatically. Does anyone out there have any ideas?

You can create a macro, and then put it on the toolbar.
Once you click on the macro button, it will close your
existing document and open a blank one:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 5/19/2004 by mmcclimans
'
ActiveWindow.Close
Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument
End Sub
