Default how do I unlock the selection?

ginny1956,
1. Right click the Word 2003 file that you transferred to PC that is using
Office 2007. Make sure that the under Properties, that the "Read-Only"
Attribute for the file is uncheck.

You should also make a habit, while you are using the Trial version of
Office 2007, to save a copy of anything that you create using Office 2007
program, in the Word 97-2003 format also. Just in case you do not purchase
the 2007 version. You will be able to use these files that you created, on
PC's that use an earlier version of MS Word.

I am on day 3 of a 60 day trial for Office 2007 (standard). I created the
document in 2003 on a different computer, saved it to a flash drive, then
put
it on the new computer with 2007. It will open the document but not allow me
to do anything with it. It says that the selection is locked. How do i undo
this, and keep it from happening again with a new document?
thanks
