Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
After you quit Microsoft Word, Word may still be loaded in memory. Additionally, if you view the
Processes tab in Task Manager, you may find that Word is using 100 percent of the CPU time.
This issue may occur when all of the following conditions are true:
- You start Word with no active document.
- You programmatically activate an embedded Word document that is contained in a document in another Microsoft Office program.
- The embedded Word document is opened for "in-place" editing in the other Office program.
- You run a macro that makes a change to the embedded Word document by using the Border object or the Borders collection.
