Opening:

winopen('C:\Temp\yourFile.docx')

Closing:

This has been answered in your very similar question http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/55013-any-application-closing-using-matlab already.

Please do not post a question again, but add comments to answers, when they do not solve your problem.

k simon and i asked for closing the word file but not to delete it or open a file please view my question again.

hello simon u did not answer to close a file in any of the links

@Pink panther: I do not see any suggestion concerning deleting a file. When I read your question again I still find: "I want to open a ms-word document...". Please explain, why winopen() does not answer this part of the question. It even works for "excel, text, powerpoint, pdf", but "etc" is simply too general to be solved from the Matlab level.

And you are right: I did not answer how to close Word in the posted link, but Vishal Rane and Kaustubha Govind did it. I do not understand what you want to say with these comments.

@simon: ur ans to open using winopen is fine but my problem is not "I want to open a ms-word document." but its to close a ms-word document which is already in open ie., which u can see on taskbar
