try please help me with my problem. Thanks

Yes it's legal, i'm sure it's activated. This isnt my computer though i'm
just trying to learn how to use excel on my friends computer while she's out
of town. I seen other worksheets that they have done, and when i opened them
up to look at them you can't edit those either. Its not protected either I
checked that to. When I went to activate at the top under help it didnt do
anything, so i dont know what that means.

It sounds like a trial version that's expired.

I'm guessing but I would think help, help about Microsoft Excel
would answer the question about Microsoft Product Activation. Does
anyone know for sure or some direct indication.
