Any advice?

If you are able to see the dock, click and hold on the icon of the program you are having a problem with. There will be a menu that opens. The last option should be "Quit." Or if the top of the menu in a subdued grey font it will say "Application not Responding," in which case the last option will be "Force Quit."
Another option will be to go to: Hard Drive - Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor.
In the Activity Monitor application you can "Force Quit" the desired application.
