Terry's probably right on with Trial/Unactivated assessment, but based on
the tone of the statements I thought it might be worth pointing out that a
document must be *open* for the majority of Word's features to be available,
even in a full-fledged, properly activated copy of the program.

If they are greyed out, you have a trial version that has time expired or
a non-activated version that has exceeded its 50 uses.

almost all the options in word 2003 are grayed out! This is a joke. I
can't
do anything I want to do. I want to use my personal pictures as
backgrounds.
Oh well, guess I won't be buying this program!
