Word 2000 error applying attributes

Helping a friend. She has saved many documents in Word 2000, but now finds they all are 'read-only'. She doesn't know how they came to be saved as read-only. It is impossible to change the attributes of these files in the usual manner - i.e. in Windows Explorer, right click the file name, click Property and remove the check at Read-Only.

We get the message "error in applying attributes." It is critical that she be able to access and change these files. How do we resolve this problem?

The files were not encrypted. I've tried all standard solutions and options: none of them worked. My friend has taken the laptop pc back as she is leaving on a trip, so will have to wait until she returns to try other fixes.
