Creating file -archive attribute not checked in Word 2000? Please help

[Netooi]

The other day I downloaded a windows service pack
and it is causing files I create with Microsoft Word 2000
to be generated without the Archive file attribute.

This is causing problems for a program I have that uses
Word files...

Before downloading the patch, all files created by Word 2000 had the archive attribute checked as default.

I have looked around in settings on Microsoft Word but have had no luck.

I need for files created by Microsoft Word to have that archive file attribute checked.

Thanks for any help.
