Hi,
In browsers such as Firefox or Chrome there are extensions that allow you to save a session state, close all windows at once, and restore them at a later time. This is useful if you open many windows, need to restart your computer and get back to working on them later.

I cannot find such functionality in Word.

Often I have 10-15 documents open, and then need to restart my computer for one reason or another (e.g., installing a new program or updating virus definition). I then have to manually close all word documents one by one, restart, and then remember what I had open and open them one by one.

Word will do this for you if your computer crashes, but why can't this be done on the initiative of the user without a crash (or can it)?
