Question:

You are working on multiple Word documents on your desktop. The Word app has suddenly started displaying all kinds of strange characters on the screen, even in the ribbon at the top. It seems to be corrupted, and none of the commands, including Close, will work. Fortunately, you've been saving these documents frequently. How do you force the application to close so that you can reopen the saved files and carry on working?

A Open Task Manager and select the Processes tab. Then rightclick the program name and choose End task.

explanation

You can simply fix the problem by using Task Manager to end the process. Or you can reboot the computer, which is a drastic measure that would close the app and clear anything out of RAM. Because the program is corrupted and unresponsive, double-clicking the program file and right-clicking in the window are ineffective.
