Have you activated your copy of Word? Check under the Help menu. If there is
a command there about "Activate" try it. If you have a version that doesn't require activation there won't be such a command. If you have already activated, it will tell you that. If you have a trial version, you need to purchase the full version. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs which is awesome!

Well, you don't tell us what version it is or how it is "locked," but
perhaps one of the following will help you: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm €śHow to convert a Office 2003 Trial Edition to a Full Retail Edition€ť http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831023 €śOFFXP: About Office Activation and Reduced Functionality€ť http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293151 €śFrequently asked questions about the Office Activation Wizard and reduced-functionality mode in Office 2003€ť http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827291 -- Suzanne S.

why is my Word program locked and how do i unlock it?
it is Microsoft word 2003 and when i try to type on a blank document it says
"the modification it is not allowed because the document is locked". there is nothing under the help menu either that says anything about activation. I dont understand why i would have to buy a new version either because all the other microsoft programs such as Excel, Access, dont need to be renewed? "Suzanne S.

Are you having this problem with all documents or only a specific one? If
the latter, on the Tools menu, do you see Protect Document or Unprotect Document? -- Suzanne S.

Open your help menu and wait..............
You probably have "adaptive menus" turned on which means you are not seeing all the commands. There should be an Activate Product command on that menu. If waiting doesn't help, click on the arrow at the bottom of the menu. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
