controls look strange after install of 2003
 

I've just upgraded from office 2000 to office 2003, I have a document with
specifically formated controls that was created in 2000 (mostly checkboxes)
after the install of 2003, all of the text appears drastically thinner, and
some of the checkboxes do not now have enough room to display the whole text,
however, the text displays exactly as it should only when the control has
FOCUS, when focus is removed it reverts to the incorrect display. This is a
multi-user document with some user's using 2000 and some 2003 I want all
users to have the correct display of the control boxes. Note this does not
affect cells, only controls eg, checkboxes,labels etc.. embedded in my
worksheet
