Your description suggests you might have copied & pasted content from the unprotected documents into the protected document, which you then saved with the previously-unprotected documents' names. Either that or you have a faulty Office installation.
You might try repairing the Office installation (via Start > Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair).
