get rid of process?

[Winla]

I got somehow similar problem with word doc. printing. A msg. shows up asking if you want to quit the word without printing. So I put a couple of seconds time delay before the word quits and it worked fine. The problem is that printing a doc. or saving a file takes time and the processing doesn't wait.
There might be a better way to avoid this.

Dim Hard As Word.Application
Set Hard = New Word.Application
Hard.Documents.Open "c:\ed_cs.rtf"
Hard.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\ed_cs.txt", wdFormatDOSTextLineBreaks
Hard.Quit
Set Hard = Nothing
this code opens word and then gets word to save the file with linebreaks. This code is in a command button's click event.
If I check the task manager their is still a process called winword.exe running.
how do I get this code to remove itself from memory and get rid of the process.
It is a problem because I get an error the next time the button is clicked.

This example shows you how to open word and load a word document. and how you close your document and close word application.

Dim objWordApp As Object

Set objWordApp = GetObject("", "Word.Application.8")
If objWordApp Is Nothing Then
Set objWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application.8")
End If

objWordApp.Documents.Open FileName:="C:\MyWord.Doc"

objWordApp.Documents(1).SaveAs "c:\finish.Doc"
objWordApp.Documents(1).Close
objWordApp.Quit

it is my understanding that your example uses late binding.
I am trying to use early binding for this project. I understand and have used your method before. I would like to thank you for your time and help. Do you have an example using early binding?
thank you for your time and have a good day
