In PPT, the X in the upper right closes the document. It closes each document until you get to the last one, then it closes PPT, too. To keep PPT's interface open, add the Close button to your QAT as shadowlesss described. Using this Close button will close the files only, even the last file, leaving you with the interface open. (Or you can use Office Button | Close.)

The "add X button" that shadowless mentioned works for PPT, too. You can actually add the smaller "document" X-button to close the documents buy going to Office Button | PPT Options | Advanced and unchecking the option for "Show all windows in the taskbar." This is kind of nasty, though, making all the PPT documents show up in one place on the taskbar. (I really hate it.)

I think the best solution is to add the Close button to the QAT and train yourself to use that. (That's what I've done, anyway.)
