How do I disable closing a document from within MS Word?

I tried the following:

Sub Document_Close()
On Error GoTo ErrClose
Err.Raise 1, , "Must close application from outside"
ErrClose:
MsgBox ("Error: " & Err.Description)
End Sub

However, I see the error message and still I am prompted
for saving the changes and losing the document.
