My comment is administrative, and goes along with the Tag I added, "duplicate post requiring merging". This present Question is the same topic as your earlier Question, so this Question needs to be merged with your previous one. I do not, however, have access to the internal tools needed to merged Answers Forum Questions that have been Answered, so I tagged the question for the staff to take care of the merging.

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.

@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.
