EXCEL and WORD 2003 "Locked"

[Chris Johnson]

Due to a bunch of "mysterious" and un-intended
keystrokes, I cannnot use EXCEL or WORD.

Both programs will boot up and open.....but I cannot type
data in either program (nothing in cells, etc...) and
only about 20% of the menu items are in BOLD
now....effectively, the programs are locked.

What happened?

How do I reverse this?

HELP !

Thanks.

Very wierd. I can't help but think more involve here. Perhaps the course
to take is let the computer do the work. Un-install then re-install Office.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Sounds like an activation issue. Did you activate Office? Is your
version of Office an evaluation copy?

Go to Help/Activate Product to either activate Office or to obtain a
phone number you can call for assistance in activation issues.
