ghostscript leaves windword processes

I'm using the ps2pdf.bat file that ghostscript provides through my
vb.net code to convert word documents to pdf.

After each conversion, a winword process is left runnning in the task
manager.

Anybody knows how to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance for your help

Does your code use Close and Dispose?

No because it's the batch file that starts the process.

I don't instantiate word in my code.
