document attributes

Running windows Home XP

I have a folder of cooking recipes in my Word 2000 Documents that I would
like to copy. The files somehow got checked as "read only" (including the
directory folder itself). No matter how many times I change them from "read
only" (clearing the check mark), they are all still marked as "read only".
Is there a solution to this, please?

I expect that you have transferred them via a CDR at some time? CDRs are
always marked as read only because normally you can only read files from a
CD. You need to open Windows Explorer, Select the Folder, right-click and
select Properties and clear the Read Only attribute (make sure to check the
apply to all sub-solders too).

I did Terry, but it still would not let me make the change.
