Default You cannot quit Microsoft Word because a dialog is active

Hi,
I get this message when a document hasn't been previously saved and Word
won't close. I want word to close regardless if the document is closed or
not. Any ideas?

I am a librarian and our public computers use time management software.
Unfortunately, a few kids have found a way to bypass the software by loading
a blank Word document, opening a Save As dialog, and then hitting
Cntrl+Alt+Del and logging off. Windows attempts to close all open programs
but when it gets to the open document the error pops up, word stays open and
everything else, including the time management software, closes. Thus, all
one has to do is hit the OK button, cancel the Save As dialog and they are
left with an open desktop - with no time management software running. Any
ideas on how to keep Word from doing this?

Phil
