Office/Excel 2008 - How to start with no document open?

[MacRS4]

Hi guys

A quick question I was hoping somebody maybe able to answer for me.

If I start Word or Excel on my Mac they automatically start with a blank document. Fair enough. Do you know a way of making them start without starting a new document? I.e. program running, but no document open?

Thanks

Yup, you're right I should change my name

As to why I want it - well I use word/excel day in day out (and I have no issue with it either, it just works) and I want it in my login items.

But then you end up with an open Word doc and an open Excel doc on your desktop.

Found that if I marked the startup as hidden then they didn't appear on my desktop. Worked a treat
