2007 normal.dotm) using Windows Explorer. Select the file. Press F2 (rename)
and rename it to normal.old.
Restart Word.

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!!!!
