Lost fonts in Word

When I view any Word document, it displays the text in only one font (looks like Courier), even if the document was originally prepared in another font, or a mixture of fonts. When I display the available fonts from the pulldown-list on the toolbar, I see that there are only 3 fonts available (Device Font 10cpi, 12cpi and 17cpi)! Other applications show the full range of fonts available on the pc. When I view the documents in Word on another pc they look fine.

This problem has only occurred in last few days, and I cannot think of any event that could cause it to happen. I am using Word 2002 (from Office XP). I have removed and reinstalled Word, but this has not made any difference.

Any idea how I can get my full range of fonts back? Any help would be appreciated.

I've just made sure Word is the only application running - no change unfortunately. This laptop's got tons of memory (384Mb)!
