There is no such feature built into Word. I can leave Word running in the
background all day and nothing happens to it.

You may have an add-in that's causing this behavior, or if you're on a
corporate network your IT folks may have put something on your machine.

Another possibility is that you might have a corrupted document or template.
Even then, just leaving Word unused doesn't usually cause a shutdown.

In Office 2003 I have over 100 PC that shut down when not in use if you have
the black word up with no doc or new docs in it
