Default Cannot edit Word document because "selection is locked" --??

I opened up a Word 2007 document and everywhere I tried to make a correction,
I receive a message on the status bar, "This modification is not allowed
because the selection is blocked." Since my "trial" of Office just expired,
I can only guess that all my documents have been locked until I purchase
Office 2007. I don't want to purchase it now (maybe never) -- not happy with
it. How do I revert all my documents back to 2003? Was this trial thing a
trap??
