document and in the bottom left hand corner it reads "modifications
is not allowed becuase the selection is locked"
Is this Office 2007? Have you activated your installation, or is it a trial
version that has expired?
To check the activation, in any Office program click the Office button in
the top left, choose the Options button at the bottom of the menu, click the
Resources tab, and click the Activate button.
If it's a trial version, it's time to convert it to a full version by paying
for it -- or, better and probably cheaper, to buy a retail copy, uninstall
the trial, and install the full version. And don't forget to activate it...
