I don't have or use Access 2007, but the escape key closes report previews in previous versions.  If 2007 has retained that feature, maybe you can "retrain" the clients - it was their idea to switch after all . . .

Subject: [AccessD] How do you close report in print preview mode in Access 2007

Against my best recommendation a client has moved to Access 2007 so I am
forced to use it for their projects.  My productivity has gone down the
drain, but I am getting there.

One thing I can't figure out is how to close a report in print preview mode
with the ribbon bar collapsed.  In the options settings for the current
database I have the Document Windows options set to Overlapping Windows to
turn of the Tabbed document display.  I want the user to close objects, not
just select the tabs to navigate around.  When the database is set this way
and a report is displayed in print preview mode there is no X to close with
and I can't figure out how to create a little custom tool bar or menu bar as
I did in previous versions to print or close the report.  I am sure there
must be an easy way to do it, but help isn't very helpful.

Any suggestions, aside from going back to Access 2003 would be welcome.

Thanks

Doug
