Function Reference


_Word_Quit

Closes all documents, the Word application and removes the object reference to it

#include <Word.au3>
_Word_Quit ( $oAppl [, $iSaveChanges = $WdDoNotSaveChanges [, $iOriginalFormat = $WdWordDocument [, $bForceClose = False]]] )

Parameters

$oAppl Word object returned by a preceding call to _Word_Create()
$iSaveChanges [optional] Specifies if changed documents should be saved before closing.
Can be one of the WdSaveOptions enumeration (default = $WdDoNotSaveChanges)
$iOriginalFormat [optional] Specifies how Word saves documents whose original format was not Word document format.
Can be any of the WdOriginalFormat enumeration (default = $WdWordDocument)
$bForceClose [optional] If True the Word application is closed even when it was running at _Word_Create() time (default = False)

Return Value

Success: 1.
Failure: 0 and sets the @error flag to non-zero.
@error: 1 - $oAppl is not an object
2 - Error returned by method Application.Quit. @extended is set to the COM error code

Remarks

If Word was not running when _Word_Create() was called then _Word_Quit() closes all documents of the specified
instance (even those opened manually by the user after _Word_Create() ) and the Word application.
If Word was running you have to set $bForceClose to True to do the same.
