After many hours of trial and error, I have finally discovered how to kill the notorious Word process. I hope my solution works for everyone else. #1) $word->Quit() is perfectly fine. Don't bother feeding in as parameter those empty variants. #2) Do NOT have com_load_typelib('Word.Application') anywhere in your script. #3) Make sure you have the following line before $word->Quit() : $word->Documents[1]->Close(false); #4) Add the following lines after $word->Quit() : <?php $word->Release(); $word = null; unset($word); ?> If my solution indeed helped you with your problem, please email me and let me know. I would like to see if the problem was indeed solved. --was-- After many hours of trial and error, I have finally discovered how to kill the notorious Word process.
