I have used up the product key user ability apparently on my student/teacher

tyupe. I obtined a new product key and reloaded word 2003 and everything
went through fine, but now when I open a blank document and attempt to type,
the message comes up that the document is locked. how do I unlock it? Thanks!

Default unlock a document on microsoft 2003 word?

How did you obtain a new product key? Do you mean you purchased a copy of
Word 2003 from somewhere?

What do you mean by it is locked? Can you create a new document and
type in it? If the answer is yes then clearly your old document is
corrupted. Also, it is possible that you have encrypted it by mistake.
Do you get a prompt to enter a password?

Default unlock a document on microsoft 2003 word?

Hi JoAnn,

Thanks for responding to my post. I appreciate it. This situation is driving
me crazy. I obtained a new product key from microsoft online for trial use
that lasts for a month or two. It is so hard to reach anyone and get
information on this stuff, for me anyway. I wanted to find out how to
reactivate my copy, but that seems to be impossible to find that information
and I called and could not get any inforamtion. Yikes! What do I do. Can I
unlock the document so that I can use this program? I bought it back in 2003
and have had to load it onto several computers and laptops over the years due
to computer crashes etc, and now, it appears that I cannot use it any longer!
I need it for my online college. When my computer recently went kaput and I
got a new one, this one has microsoft words wp, but my online college cannot
use that, so now I have to go back and forth between my computer without 2003
word to my laptop with 2003 word. But, I hate using the laptop!!! Okay,
enough of my problem. Can you advise me? Thanks!

well, I open the microsoft word 2003 and a blank document appears on the
screen and when I go to type, a message appears at the bottom of the screen
that says that the document is locked. there is no prompt for a password.
thanks for responding. I appreciate it! I recently got a new computer Dell
Inspiron Vista when my old one crashed/kaput and it only has windows works wp
and I cannot use that for my online college and this creates a big problem
for me!!

Okay............let's see if I got this staight. You had Office STE on a
different computer but now need to install it on another one.

If that's right, then you don't want a trial version key. You need to call
Microsoft. (I know you didn't want to read that)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823570

Scroll down to the section titled "How to replace a damaged or lost product
key for a full version"

This is assuming you did not get it preinstalled on the old computer. If you
did, you cannot install it on another computer. You will have to purchase a
new version of Word if that's what you need.

If you have the original installation CD for your retail store version of
Office S & T 2003 do this (comes in a folder and can be installed onto 3
computers not OEM which came on the first computer way back, )

Uninstall all Office products from the Add/Remove Programs in Control panel
for XP or Programs and Features in Vista.

Reboot the computer.

Install the 2003 version of S & T that you have using the key on the orange
label on the folder. Once installation is complete you need to activate.
If it fails online activation you must use telephone activation. The number
will be provided, call it and follow the electronic prompts. Normally the
telephone activation will go fine but you may need to speak to a live person
if the electronic online has failed.

Thank you so much Joann. I hope it works. I bought the program at Office
Depot separately from the computer which was bought separately. Have a great
evening!
