It only closes the current window that you are in. Alt + F4 will not close other Word applications that are open.
If you want to close all open windows for Word, use the following steps: Press Alt + F (File) Press X (Exit) You will be prompted to save files if any edits have been done. You may also be asked if you want to review recovered documents at a later date, I usually state yes and continue. (Never know if there's a document you want recovered from there!)

Hi all, Whenever I close a Word document with Alt F4, The Microsoft Word program is still running in my task manager. Am I closing my documents incorrectly? I noticed this with both Word 2007 and Word 2010, using Jaws 14.
