I have found that sending the mouse into the sleep corner, and then back out
(or just typing in the password again) usually seems to get word to wake up.

Interestingly, any mouse clicks or typing while Word was "asleep" then seem
to get processed after Word wakes up.

And, yes, it seems that Word is the only application that has a problem with
After Dark (Word also has some incompatibilities with AltWDEF, Front+Center,
..., so I'm NOT surprised).  What a hack.
