word document "locked"
If you're using Word 2002 or 2003, have you activated it? From Word,
click on Help | Activate Product. If you're already activated, you'll get a message saying that. If you haven't, an activation wizard will start. wrote: I am trying to make changes to a document and I can't because I get a message saying the document is locked. How do I unlock it? |

-----Original Message----- I am trying to make changes to a document and I can't because I get a message saying the document is locked. How do I unlock it? . I don't have an answer. But I share this problem. Tech support couldn't unlock it. Perhaps it is a "glitch" in this program. Dell, and MS tech support could not solve it. I had to uninstall the program to get out of it! OUCH!! If you find an answer please forward it to me. Thank you. |
