How to end a process from cmd.exe?

Question

I need to open and close a word file(Test.doc) from my java program. I managed to open the file using cmd shell, but I don't know how to close the opened file. Does anybody have a suggestion? Below is my code. Thanks.
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process p = null;
    try {
    p = r.exec("cmd.exe /c start Test.doc");
    catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Error opening the file.");
    }

Answer 1

Try something like this:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
String command = "\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\winword\"";
String file = "\"c:\\Test.doc\"";
try {
    p = r.exec(command + " " + file);    //to open the file in MS Office Word
    Thread.sleep(30000);    //keep it open for 30secs
    p.destroy();    //close the process and hence the file
}catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("Error opening the file.");
