It sounds as though you have not activated your copy of Word (Office). Look
under HELP and you will see the Activate Product command. After installing
Office (or just Word) 2003, you may use Word (or Office) 50 times before it
locks out.

Alternatively, if you have a new computer, it may have come with a limited
trial version of Office (usually 60 days) after which you need to purchase a
product code to unlock it.
