Now, why the heck would one day these be perfectly normal Word documents one day and then the next they turn into XML folders?

I really appreciate your help!

What you can do is:
1. Open a given document's folder using Windows Explorer.
2. Select all files & folders within that folder (eg Ctrl-A).
3. With Windows Explorer use Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder.
4. Give the new zipped file the same name as its parent folder and a docx extension.
5. Drag the new zipped file out of the existing folder into, say, your 'My Documents' folder.
6. Check that the new file opens in Word and, if so, delete the errant folder.
