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?

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

Hi Cyber Taz:


There is no ToolsProtection area on my page. I have Window Vista Basic and
that option is not available. All of the options on the taskbar are greyed

Have you activated the copy?

Other than activation/expiration, you can also lock text by selecting it and
clicking Group - Group in the Developer tab. Try selecting everything and
choose Group - Ungroup... assuming it's not an activation issue.

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
you.

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.
