Why does WINWORD.EXE still hang in processes when programmatically closing a Word document?

Question

Delphi

Hello! Here is a code snippet in Delphi:

var
Word, Doc: OleVariant;
begin
Word:=CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
Doc:=Word.Documents.Open('c:\example.docx');
//действия с документом
Doc.Save;
Doc.Close;
Word:=UnAssigned;
end;

After that, WINWORD.EXE remains hanging in the processes. What to do? Subsequent runs of this procedure add instances of WINWORD.EXE to processes. How to kill them programmatically???

Answer 1

This is because you closed the document, but did not close the Word.
To close the Word, you need to give it the Quit command.
