I think its not the Word Documents that are infected but your Word Installation.
A virus usually attacks executable files not the data files(like .doc, .mp3).
Your system might be infected with a virus which has infected the Word installation. You should install an anti virus software and scan for viruses.

Also try reinstalling MS Word and open your documents with the fresh installation. You may also check your documents by opening them in some other PC...
