Default Convert Tab Greyed Out

I emailed a Word 2003 document to my laptop which has Vista/Word 2007. The
document opened in compatibility mode and will not let me edit, nor can I
convert the document to 2007 due to the convert tab being greyed out. Is
the compatibility back the answer?

Default Convert Tab Greyed Out

Can you edit *any* documents in Word 2007 or is this a trial version now
expired?

No - it's not a trial version. I've also been able to edit other documents
that weren't created in Word 2007 or Vista. Weird.

If you wish you can send the errant document to the link on the home page of
my web site and I will have a look at it.
