It is Word 2003. I'm sure it's not a trial version. I bought the SBE of
office and none of the program operate normally. All are in reduced
function
mode.

What version of Word is this (check Help | About Microsoft Word)? If it
is
Word 2003, are you *sure* it isn't a trial version?

Yes even in safe mode still no luck. I have even tried to restore the
computer to an earlier time and it will not restore. I also removed the
SBE
version on my system and downloaded a trial version and the trial
version
did
the same thing. Reduced functionality.

You are confirming that if you start Word in Office Safe Mode (using
the
/a
switch or pressing Ctrl while it is loading), you still cannot create
or
edit documents? And you still get no response from Help | Activate
Product?

Still not luck. I cannot even find someone to ask at microsoft. I
tried to
check the authentication on their site but it just refers me back
to
the
manufacturer who installed it.

Is this a (now expired) trial version of Word, supplied
with
your
PC? If
so,
you now have to buy the software if you wish to continue
to
use
it!
