Hi Laura,

If you have Word 2002 and are encountering "Document locked for edit"
in the status bar then it sounds like an activation issue. Did you
activate Office? Is your version of Office an evaluation copy? Has it
been installed on more than one PC? Note that Office XP is licensed
for one PC only and possibly the owner's laptop depending on your
EULA.

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

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
