Either this is a trial version that has expired or you have not activated it
within the required number of uses.

You need to go back to the vendor. My guess is that they have probably bulk
installed on multiple drives and then fitted them into computers. They
didn't do it correctly so that the product keys are all wrong, except for
the original computer they cloned.

If Office came installed on the computer and you didn't explicitly pay extra
for it, it is almost certainly the trial version, which is very difficult to
avoid having installed on a new computer these days.

Providing you have the original installation disk as they need the number
from the small central circle.

I also have a trial version on my new computer. It expires 3/31/10. It
worked fine for a few days, now I'm getting the message everyone has -
selection locked. I was going to buy the actual version, now I'm not so
sure. Has anyone had any luck unlocking this? I've tried to find a place to
e-mail Microsoft direct, but no luck. Will keep checking these posts.

If you are sure the trial hasn't expired, have you Activated it? You can
only use Word 50 times without activation before it goes into limited
functionality. However, it sounds more like the trial has expired.

Did you activate Word? Are you sure the trial hasn't expired (in which case
you will have to buy the full version)?
