[AccessD] Automation of word

I have a rather elaborate mail merge system in a client's system.  ATM I
open the document, merge the date and the user takes over, filling in things
that they need to fill in, then printing and closing the word instance.  It
works well enough however I do not control the save of the document, and
very occasionally Word does not close cleanly, leaving a hidden instance
open WITH the associated merge text document open as well, preventing the
next merge from occurring.

I need to know if it is possible to open word in a mode that prevents it
from being closed by the user?  I would then have the user go back to my
application and press a button saying that they succeeded in doing the mail
merge.  I would save the document and close Word down.

Can I prevent the user from closing Word?
