Yes.

Using Word/Excell in that way is called 'automation'.
And while very usefull in certain situations, it is also wellknown for its
buggy behaviour.

Google for "automation memory leak"

Follow any of the 220.000 hits

In general:
1) Be sure you know WHAT you are instantiating
2) Be sure you close the all apps/objects again. Even in case of an error.

Good luck.
