It is very likely that you are in a proteced document. You need to turn off
protection under the Tools menu option. If someone else protected the
document and assigned a password, they need to turn it off for you. Look up
protection under MS Word Help.

i deleted the WORD registery and restarted Word. Everything became normaly.

Hi John, Thanks for ur suggestion. Actually it happened to all documents
including new document/Blank document. But managed to solve it with reset all
the configuration in Word with editing the registry.

Have a nice day,
