If this only happens in one particular document, try opening that
document and clicking on Tools | Unprotect Document.
If all new and existing documents are locked for editing, then
it's probably because you have not activated your Office
software, or because you have an expired trial version of Office
2003. What happens if you start Word and click on Help |
Activate Product? If you are already activated, a dialog box
saying so will appear. If you are not activated, the Activation
Wizard will start. If you have an expired trial version, a
dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or
purchase a key online.
