how can i unlock a new document so I may type?
I am able to open a new document, but when it is opened, there is a message
in the message bar that reads: "This modification is not allowed because the document is locked". I do not know how to unlock this new document, I have looked at other questions, they are similar but not the same problem. Any Help? |

Have you activated Word? See “OFFXP: About Office Activation and Reduced
Functionality” http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293151 (also applies to Office 2003). Alternatively, see “How to convert a Office 2003 Trial Edition to a Full Retail Edition” http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831023 -- Suzanne S.

Ok, I understand, But I do not know how to activate Word. I can get to the
screen that asks if I want to activate over phone or via internet, and the internet cannot get a connection and when I try to do it over the phone the installation ID does not match the confirmation code, there are 6 extra numbers in the installation ID. What do I do know? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Have you activated Word?

If you're doing it over the phone, I would think that the person you're
talking to could offer some help? It's been so long since I did this that I don't know what the "installation ID" and "confirmation code" are. -- Suzanne S.
