Force close of open files

I have an app that is designed to grab addresses from a central database and
create a Word template containing them as AutoText entries. I copy it to a
location where it can be accessed by all my clients. This gets run
overnight.

My problem is that if anyone leaves Word running then the template is still
in use and the attempt to overwrite the old version of the files fails.

Does anyone have a way of forcing a close of any open connections?
