Word 2003 - Format Painter button does not work

I am sure this worked just a week or so ago.

The 'copy format' button on my Word 2003 does not work today. When I click the Format Painter icon (the 'paint brush'), the cursor changes to the paint brush for a moment, then changes back to a regular cursor (unlike when it worked - where it'd stay like the 'paint brush' mode till I clicked somewhere or selected some text). It's the same even if I double-click on the icon (which essentially should allow me to stay in 'Format Painter' mode till I hit escape).

Btw, the command key (Ctrl-Shift-C to copy format and Ctrl-Shift-V to paste the format) still works.

So is there an option I've turned off unwittingly?

This is Word 2003 on Win 7.
