Found this one on my own.  I rebooted my Mac, and the problem went away.
This implies that Word is doing something to either the system heap or a
variable in low memory (I'm guessing) that it shouldn't be, which is hosing
itself across incarnations of the program.  Hmm... Perhaps it is mucking
with the keyboard definitions. I don't know, but I don't like programs that
stay broken after they quit, but magically fix themselves once you reboot
the machine...
