If this only happens in one particular document, try opening that
document and clicking on Tools | Unprotect Document. If all new and existing documents are locked for editing, then it's probably because you have not activated your Word/Office software, or because you have an expired trial version of Office 2003. What happens if you start Word and click on Help | Activate Product? If you are already activated, a dialog box saying so will appear. If you are not activated, the Activation Wizard will start. If you have an expired trial version, a dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or purchase a key online. molly-ness wrote: tmy document is locked. i can't type or do anything, does anyone know how i get it back to a normal document? when i try to type it says "this modification is not allowed because the document is locked" could someone please help me. |

I am having the same problem: all documents new and old are locked. But my
Office software is activated, and it was not a trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi P.,
That message can indicate several possibilities, one of which is that the document has been marked as 'final' in Word 2007 or that it is in fact locked for editing. Some other common issues can be: (a) you had a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 that has expired. (b) you had a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 that hasn't yet been activated. (c) You have a paid up licensed version of Office 2007 that hasn't yet been activated. Check Office button=Word Options=Resources=Activate to see if the app reports that it has been activated. ================= "Daddy_P" wrote in message ...
