    Word opens during boot-up

    I tried the following:
    Since my pc was on I opened the Task Manager & saw Microsoft Word listed in Processes. I ended the task & re-booted. Word was not open on the desktop. I opened the Task Manager & no Word listed.

    Next I opened Word & checked Task Manager & saw it listed. I closed Word but did not end the task. When I re-booted Word was open on the desktop.

    Therefore when I close word it's not actually/completely closing & remains listed in Task Manager. Why isn't Word closing completely & remaining in the Task Manager list?
