For Word before 2007, use the DOS prompt to navigate to the particular folder, and type:
ATTRIB +R *.doc
For newer versions of Word:
ATTRIB +R *.docx
For Windows (XP in particular):
Open 'Windows Explorer' (Windows Key-E)... Maximize the window (If the widow doesn't take up the whole screen, click the little button just to the left of the red box with an 'X' in the very top right-hand corner of the window)... Navigate to the folder that contains all of your .doc files. You'll find it easier to do this in 'Detail View' [RIGHT-CLICK on a BLANK area on the right pane of the window... Click the VIEW option... Click the DETAILS option]... If there are different types of files in the folder, go to the next paragraph for instructions. If there are only Word files in the folder, press CTRL-A on your keyboard (this will select all of the files in the folder)... Right-Click one of the selected files... Select "Properties". A box will appear... In the "Attributes" section, check the box next to "Read Only"... Click 'OK' and you're done!
If there are other types of files, click the word "TYPE" in the bar above the list of available files (this will separate the files according file extention/type)... Click on the first "Word" file... scroll down to the last "Word" file and with the SHIFT KEY depressed, click the last Word file (at this point all of your Word files should be selected)... Right-Click one of the selected files... Select "Properties". A box will appear... In the "Attributes" section, check the box next to "Read Only"... Click 'OK' and you're done!
