Default How do I unlock Word 2007?

If your copy of Word is a full version, properly activated, chances are that
renaming the Normal template will fix the issue. If you need help finding
the Normal template, you can search for it in Windows (be sure to search
hidden files and folders). See also
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...alTemplate.htm (note
that the Normal template is called normal.dotm in Word 2007 and normal.dot
in older versions).

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!!!!
