Hi

winword is MS Word. - part of your Office Student Suite.

It is the Microsoft Word program. If you have it open, it will be listed in
the Task Manager - Task Manager lists any active & open processes and
applications.

M,

Sometimes, if Word stops responding and has to be closed down it can remain
"active" in Task Manger. This can cause probelms when you try to restart
Word as your system still thinks it is running correctly. If Word is not
running when you see winword.exe running in TM, you can safely shut it down
in TM.
