Spurious field codes, section breaks appearing where they were not inserted, 
backspace key causing GPFs--but only in certain locations, unidentifiable 
computer lock-up, etc.
How did they "disappear"?  When we started creating the documents with 
pre-virus templates, the corruption didn't appear, didn't occur, didn't 
happen.

You missed the point.  Microsoft states that this "transparent" virus *may* 
be causing more problems than the transparency shows.  Therefore, according 
to Microsoft, restoring pre-virus templates is worth doing.  We did, and the 
document corruption ceased.
