Default Close Word with macro?

Think about your habits (and those of your users) before you implement this!
What other documents are likely to be open? Will changes to those be a good
thing to save, or not? Do you really want to abandon changes to the document
you have been working on?

Holy crabapples, it works! Here's the script (cribbed shamelessly from
Help):

Sub ExitTime()
'
'Wait for 1 hour then exit word.
'
Dim PauseTime, Start
PauseTime = 3600 ' Set duration.
Start = Timer ' Set start time.
Do While Timer Start + PauseTime
DoEvents ' Yield to other processes.
Loop
Application.Quit SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End
End Sub

Thanks again,
