Where the table is deliberately empty
7 apps here publish no Mac key for Close the file, so those cells are left blank. 1 documents it for Mac only. A blank there is a gap in that maker documentation for Close the file, not an oversight here, and it is never filled by converting the other system.
If the keys for Close the file do nothing
The 11 apps listed here each decide this for themselves, so the first thing to check is that you are reading the row for the app you are actually in, and the column for your system. After that, check the app version, since close the file is the kind of command makers move between releases. Report a correction
