What does "selection is locked" mean?
Sometimes, but not always, when I open a new document in Word, I can't just
start typing. There is a message at the bottom informing me that the selection is locked. What the #*#^^ does that mean?! |

Is your new document a blank document? Do you see a blue box in the document
when you attempt to type? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
