Default Comparing Documents in Word 2003 and Word 2002 - VERY Weird Proble

I am having a very strange problem that hopefully you will be able to shed
some light on. This problem is affecting multiple users using Word 2002 w/
SP3.

If they compare an edited document to an original using "Compare and Merge
Documents..." they will see very odd and pointless redlining being done. For
example, if they added one word to a paragraph, it will say that they deleted
the entire paragraph and reinserted it directly below it. Keep in mind that
both the original and edited version where created in the same version of
Word 2002.

However, when I use Word 2003 w/ SP1 to compare the exact same documents, it
shows that only the one word that was added was actually inserted, not the
entire paragraph.

I have tried to remove/reinstall Word on their PC's, but the problem
repeatedly occurs. Do you have any other suggestions??

THanks,
Josh.
