Word 2004 freeze while on internet

[acatland]

I've noticed that if I shut down the computer by pressing Control-
option-command keys and the eject key while on the internet AND Word
2004 is open, Word stops the shutdown process. I have to force quit it
in order to complete the shutdown process. If I manually quit word
before hitting those keys, there is no problem.

I don't remember this being a problem before 10.5.2 but I could be
wrong. Any suggestions. (I've deleted all Microsoft and Word plist
preferences but that didn't work.

Would you have been "copying" from the Internet into Word?

If you had, Word would be holding a reference on the clipboard to the web
page (in case you wanted to paste again).

That would do it. And that would be a bug

Hope this helps

I've investigated this more and I've found that if I run an automator
script to quit all running applications, Word quits. If I use an
application launcher to do the same, Word quits. But if I try and use
the Control-option-command-eject key to shutdown the computer, Word
will not quit.
