I'm in a trial period of using Microsoft Office. When I tried to open
ithe
program and create a document, a blank page comes up that looks
ready...but I
can't do anything to it and a message says "This modification is not
allowed
because the selection is locked." I've tried several times...don't know
why
or how it's locked, or how to unlock it!
