What computer, what OS, what version of Office. If it is Office 2007, has it
been activated? Is it trial version that has expired?

I have the same problem, I never locked it, and both Office and word are
doing the same thing. The computer is a dell, 1 week old,
any suggestions, the ribbon is totally locked, and I get this message,

If using 2007, go to the Review Tab of the Ribbon if the Restrict Editing
&
Formatting Task Pane isn't displayed. Then click the Protect Document
icon
(right end of the Ribbon) & choose Restrict Editing & Formatting. At the
bottom of the pane click the Stop Protection button - if there is no
password require you will be allowed to revise the document. If prompted
for
a password & you don't know what it is you can't make changes anywhere
the
Find Next Region... And Show All Regions... Buttons highlight for you.

It sounds like you're in a Protected doc. Go to ToolsProtection & see
if
there is a command in the submenu that reads as "Unprotect Document".
If you
attempt to remove the protection you may be prompted for a password.
If this isn't the issue be sure to specify version info when you
respond.
