Why would a word document lock? It claims it's in compatability mo

R

I've never used this mode and have never heard of it. I turned on my computer
yesterday and tried to edit my resume and it claims the document is now
locked and I am in compatibility mode. Can someone help me understand what
this is and how to shut it off.
Thanks

Are you using a trial version of the software that has now expired or have
you not activated your copy of the software?

If so, see http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/faq.aspx

"Compatibility mode" means that you've opened a Word97-2003 document
in Word2007. Not related to the locking.
