opening excel as an app - without workbook(s) - excel 2013

[lezawang]

Hi
I went to start menu and opened excel. It would open with workbook1.xlsx. How can I close workbook1 without closing the app itself. I do not have that option. If I click on X that would close all the apps. If i go to File->close that would close everything. Any idea please? I want to see what is inside the app to compare it with App object in VBA. Thank you so much.
