How do I close a SINGLE window from a program that's not responding WITHOUT quitting the entire program?

I went to fix an error where I forgot to type a space between two words in MS Word by clicking on the red-underlined text, and it stopped responding. I have other Word documents open and ONLY wanted to close the ones I wasn't working on. If I quit the program, I might lose my progress on the document I was working on!

    I understand that you would like to close one single window on Microsoft Word Program.

    You can close the single window by hovering the mose to the Word icon on the taskbar, select the tab you would like to close. (For example,. see imge 1)
