This modification is not allowed because the document is locked
"This modification is not allowed because the document is locked" - I keep
getting this message when I try to enter text into new Word 2003 files or modify existing ones. I have checked that my copy of Word 2003 is activated (nothing happens when I check). I have been using it without problems until now. I would be very grateful for your answers. |

Is this a trial version of Word? It sounds as tho your time to use it for
free is up. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Mark60" wrote in message ...

I don't think it is a trial version - it came with the computer and was
reinstalled after a hard disc crash in June. but how would I check if it it a trial version? "JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]" wrote: Is this a trial version of Word?

Choose Help - Activate Product. What does it tell you there?
Note that trial versions *do* ship preinstalled on computers (trial version of Office Standard came on two laptops we bought this summer), and expire (I believe) something like 90 days after first use. Non-trial Office goes into limited-functionality mode after 50 uses (I beleive) if not activated. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, when I tried this earlier (more than
once), nothing appeared. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Choose Help - Activate Product. What does it tell you there?

From Word's menu, when you choose Help - Activate Product, nothing at all
appears? At the very least, you should see a box that says it's already been activated. If nothing at all happens, that suggests a serious installation issue. Have you already tried Help - Dectect and Repair? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Mark60" wrote in message ...
