I am manipulating Word files from within an Access application (Office 2003).
I am opening Word, manipulating a document, saving it, opening another
document, manipulating, etc.  After running into a bug, I stopped the
execution of the Access application but my Word instance is still open, with
the different documents open (a merge file and a secondary file).  How do I
close this instance of Word?  and how do I prevent this from happening in the
future?

The only way I know how to do this is manually, using the Windows Task
Manager. I would typically save and close any Word documents I could, then
look at the process list in the Task Manager and stop any processes called
WINWORD. However, you are likely to damage normal.dot if you do so.

You might have more luck in one of the more programmig-oriented groups.
