    Unfortunately, "Word" is the trademarked name of a popular
    word-processing application,

Is it? Which one would that be? Perhaps you're thinking of
Microsoft® Word? "Word" is not a trademark, though "Microsoft" is.
(Interestingly, MS doesn't even seem to claim the pair of words
"Microsoft Word" as a trademark.)

Regardless, it is not the capitalization of the name of the program
that carries the semantic meaning. The intended referent is easily
understood without case distinction in the vast majority of examples.
