template program commands keep showing

[CN]

Every time I open a word template or document(Word 2000)
with a command embedded in it, e.g. "formtext", or a hyper
link, I cannot update the field or see the hyperlink. I
literally see the text "formtext" or "hyperlink". I
cannot "fill in the blank field" for the formtext
sections. I have used the documents in the past
successfully, yet now cannot see the previously entered
text, just a gray-shaded box that that says "formtext".
I have ran all downloads and patches for worm virus; and
did not have any such viruses. Problem actually started
about three weeks ago. Help!
