Default How do I unlock Word 2007?

To clarify, I bought a new copy of Office from Costoco (best price I could
find). At any rate, the new product key worked and I've activated Office but
my documents are still locked.

Purchased it *again*? The trial is free and you only get one trial. The full
version of Office will cost upwards of $100.
Once installed, you must activate it from the resources tab of Word Options.

Hello,
I've learned that I did have the trial version of MS Office. So I
purchased a it again and have installed it. Word 2007 is still locked
with the notification that the selection is locked. Actually all my
documents are locked. I saw the earlier post about changing the
template, but I don't know how to do that (sorry, I was only computer
literate when I was dating a computer nerd Please help!!

Then it was a trial version supplied by the PC manufacturer. The
trial has now expired - time to pay the piper.

I have Word 2007 installed on my computer, but for some reason,
it's not working. I am not able to type or edit anything at all.
When I try to, the message reads, "This modification is not
allowed because the selection is locked". I cannot open anything
else in Word Options besides the resources tab, and when I click,
activate, it tells me that I have already activated the program.
I cannot do anything, even though my copy of Word is registered
and activated. I really need help!!!!
