This is usually a sign that the application has not been activated (or is a
trial version that has expired).

Please HELP!
My Microsoft Word from Office 2003 will not all me to type anything into
any
document (not even a new one). The message coming up in the bottom, left
corner says: "This modification is not allowed because the document has
been
locked." Most of the options in the menus are unavailable, so I can't even
try looking for solutions under 'Options', etc. I have tried fully
removing
Small Business 2003, and then installing it again from CD. This has made
no
difference. How can I unlock it?
Please, frustrated and impeded.
