Any Word macro virus causes the effect because infected documents are 
converted to templates by the virus. Most likely the virus which hit you is 
either Concept (the world's most widespread macro virus) or Imposter (this 
one was reported in the wild in the UK).

Use a good antivirus software. For example, you can try Dr.Solomon's 
FindVirus which detect and removes all known macro viruses. You can download 
an evaluation copy of FindVirus from http://www.drsolomon.com or 
ftp://ftp.drsolomon.com .
