Word 2002 was working well. Then all of a sudden documents opened up wtih the
Paragraph symbol and unreadable text scattered on the page.

I opened Word with Winword.exe /a and documents opened correctoly, but not
sure what changed.
 
Winword /a is safe mode!
The non-printing characters are toggled by CTRL+* or the ¶ button on your
toolbar.
Uncheck all the formatting options in tools > options > view > formatting
marks for the toggle to work correctly.
