Upgraded 2000 to office 2003.

Opening old 2000 files is possible, but any kind of edit such as, SELECT
TEXT, MAKE BOLD/ITALIC/RED/UNDERLINE, or even a BULLET BUTTON press, will
affect ALL TEXT in the entire document.

New files behave perfectly well, but if I try to copy text from an old file
and paste  into a brand new document the problem reappears in the new
document - even if I just copy one single line of text.

Can anybody shed any guidance on how to resolve?  I suspect some corrpution
has occured with old files and rendered them problematic.

Thanks in advance.
