Default Can't typein Word because section is locked

Hi,

Some postings seem to suggest that you might get this if you're using a
trial copy of Word and the trial period has expired, or if you've never
activated the product.

There's also this (slightly modified) from a posting by Bob Buckland:

===========================================
"There are a couple of scenarios that can cause this. One of the most
common is a corrupted activation file, another is the software not 'passing'
one of the MS Genuine Advantage checks for Windows or Office (and those
aren't always correct g).


With all of the Office apps closed and in a profile that has administrator
privileges, use Start=Search to search for the file opa12.dat and rename it
to opa12.old, then restart the PC and open Word to see if you can activate
Office 2007."
===========================================

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Ed
