closing Word from a macro

[anadem]

There's sure to be a better way, but is it possible to close Word from
a macro? (Not close the doc, but quit Word itself)

I need to run a (recorded+edited) macro to adjust a number of docs
which are generated by Robohelp. My naive plan is to run Word
repeatedly for each .doc from a .BAT script, thus:
DOMAC.BAT
<path>\Winword.exe /mdostuff mytext.doc

where the dostuff macro is something like:

Sub dostuff()
' stuff
ActiveDocument.Save
ActiveDocument.Close
' plus something here to shut Word down
End Sub

Alternatively, if VBS automation would make it easier to do, please
tell me how to run a macro from VBS. I found these starting & ending
vbscript fragments, which work, but don't know where to go for more ...
strDoc = "mytext.doc"
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Documents.Open strDoc, false,,false
< need to run the macro here >
WordApp.ActiveDocument.Close
WordApp.Quit
Set WordApp = Nothing

apologies if this is too raw to be bearable -- I'm trying to solve a
problem asap and don't have time to do better. (I tried to get the
macro code to run in VBS but it's taking too long.)

many thanks for any advice

thanks Jezebel! is there good beginner reference to look in for
things like this (as someone who doesn't know what they're looking for,
that is!)

Yep, nothing like the F1 and F2 keys!

The "for Dummies" books do a good range too - but after you get familiar
with the sometimes brief explanations within F1 Help, that's the best
starting point.
