I wasn't aware it does with this way. I changed init code to :

  Procedure Init
 	LOCAL oWord
  	oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
  	oWord.Documents.Add
    With This
      Select myWordDocs
      Scan
        .Refresh()
        .myWord.Object.Content.Copy
        oWord.ActiveDocument.Content.Paste
        oWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(Sys(5)+Curdir()+;
         'DOCUMENTS_'+Transform(Recno('myWordDocs'))+'.doc')
      Endscan
    Endwith
    oWord.ActiveDocument.Saved = .t.
    oWord.Quit
  Endproc

Sounds to be faster and doesn't leave open winword processes.
