If you downloaded it, it is just a trial version, and it has probably
expired.

HELLO!
I have the same problem. My Office 2007 is "locked".
I also can't click anything in the Tabs. Only the Office button works to
open or save doc's. I can't type & I can't click on Review, to change
settings at all!
-I DID download this office- (it's not bought in a store) could that be
the
problem?
THX a bunch.

The 'number key' only allows you to install the applications, not
activate:
you need to use on line Activation. Use Alt+F, I, then select Resources
button and Activate.

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,

This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked

thanks

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

I can't find Tools.
Where is it?

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.
