I agree with damiross. The "close all" command is located in "Commands Not in the Ribbon" when you're in the 'customize ribbon' dialog box.
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but it is simple to add the "Close All" command icon to the Quick Access Bar.
Alt FX also works or course.
If a technopeasant like me can figure this one out, it's too simple minded for geeks

This is probably not the answer you are looking for either. In Win XP right click on the group of windows on the taskbar and select Close Group. In Win7 right click on the icon on the taskbar and select 'Close all windows'.
I Win7 I have my icons-Word, Outlook, etc- in my task bar and I highlight Word, right click and select 'close all windows'
