The ExitWindows method closes all open programs, quits Microsoft Windows, and logs the current user off. This method does not save changes to open Word documents or macros; however, it does prompt you to save changes to open documents in other Windows-based programs. This method is not available on the Macintosh.
To use this command within Word for Windows and still be prompted to save any changes made during the current session, you can use an AutoExit macro, like the following, to exit Windows when you exit Word for Windows. The AutoExit macro runs each time you close Word for Windows.
Sub AutoExit
Tasks.ExitWindows
End Sub
