C'mon, these things don't just change of their own accord. If they changed, you did something to cause the change.

You need to let Word open the files (with their former extensions), then use File|Save As.
I tried that but the "You are attempting to open a file type" thing came up.

That's why you need to temporarily change the Trust Centre settings.

Given that you're using Office XP, the native format is:
I'm not using XP but 7

There is no such thing as Office 7. There is Windows 7 and the latest version of Office for the PC is 2010. According to your user profile - which you've set - you're using Windows XP and Office XP. If that is not correct, please update your profile to reflect the correct parameters. Having the wrong profile makes it harder for anyone to help you.

Again, that's why you need to temporarily change the Trust Centre settings.
