The 'number key' only allows you to install the applications, not activate:
you need to use on line Activation. Use Alt+F, I, then select Resources

HELLO!
I have the same problem. My Office 2007 is "locked".
I also can't click anything in the Tabs. Only the Office button works to
open or save doc's. I can't type & I can't click on Review, to change
settings at all!
-I DID download this office- (it's not bought in a store) could that be the
problem?

I have the same problem, I never locked it, and both Office and word
are
doing the same thing. The computer is a dell, 1 week old,

any suggestions, the ribbon is totally locked, and I get this
message,

This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked

thanks

If using 2007, go to the Review Tab of the Ribbon if the Restrict
Editing
&
Formatting Task Pane isn't displayed. Then click the Protect
Document
icon
(right end of the Ribbon) & choose Restrict Editing & Formatting.
At
the
bottom of the pane click the Stop Protection button - if there is
no
password require you will be allowed to revise the document. If
prompted
for
a password & you don't know what it is you can't make changes
anywhere
the
Find Next Region... And Show All Regions... Buttons highlight for
you.

Where is it?

It sounds like you're in a Protected doc. Go to ToolsProtection
&
see
if
there is a command in the submenu that reads as "Unprotect
Document".
If you
attempt to remove the protection you may be prompted for a
password.

If this isn't the issue be sure to specify version info when you
respond.
