Automatic old server name (UNC) dis-association - Word97

We recently moved all our data to a new server. Since then, several users have experienced extreme slowness problems when opening Word documents. We were unable to find old server associations in the Word document within Word itself. However, when opening the document in a hex editor program the old server name clearly showed up. After editing the document, ie change the server name, the slowness problems were resolved. Is there any way to automate this process? Editing every single document manually in this way would take us several months. Any help/suggestions very much appreciated!
I realise we can disable the use of UNC by editing the registry but that would only work for newly created documents, not documents already created?
