So you started using parameter and you do not get the message "..large amount of text..." anymore? Then what about Application.Quit (True) ?

I assume that your macro is in the document. Probably it cause a conflict when you close application from the document. What if you create this macro in, say, global template, and run it from there?

Also if you run 'my' code from VFP, does it work as you need?

>>Try to use parameters. It works for me:
>>
>>....
>>oWord.ActiveWindow.Close(0) && close document, do not save or as needed
>>oWord.Quit(-1) &&save it, though not quite clear what to save if document already closed
