This is the nature of Word - to remain open in order to satisfy multiple requests. For example, if you have Outlook and it's configured to use Word to open e-mails, when you open up an e-mail and then close it later, WinWord remains in memory. This is just the way it works, unfortunately.
Do you have other programs running the background, such as Outlook, that could be leaving WinWord running

The short answer is 'no'. In order to view a Word document, winword needs to be running. And, as was already mentioned, it's the way Word works. To be fair, it's also the way other similar application (such as Acrobat Reader) work.
Sorry there isn't a better way.
