Bring the application to the foreground and use Ctrl+shift+Fn+K

The odds are that it isn't locked up, you've just tried to load a
complicated page with a lot of nested layout tables. Web was always
notorious for grinding to a near hault on big pages like that. When they
first released it for the Psion 5 I thought it was hanging but the
orbiting document icon would keep reappearing every couple of minutes so
one day I just left it to see what would happen, and the page eventually
appeared after 20 minutes!

For some reason Web is still pretty sluggish with these pages on a Series
7 or netBook, despite the better and faster processors.

Close it from the System dialogue. If it refuses to close (which sounds
like your problem), then hold down the Shift key when you select the 'Close
File' button. Not much can withstand the Kill option.
