Why won't my word document save changes

I have an access application with a vba backend and it opens a word document to enter information and then print the word document and should close it.
I keep getting an error on the line "objword.ActiveDocument.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges......can anyone please help me on this and shed some light on why this is not working. Here is my code.
