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. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "John" wrote in message ... I can open the document, but i can't type anything.

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. Terry "GS1150" wrote in message ...
