How do I unlock word to begin typing???
My word application had been working fine until I went to use it today. I
try to type in word and the following pops up: "This modification is not allowed because the selection is locked." What have I hit to make this happen?? How do I undo this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is so frustrating. |

How do I unlock word to begin typing???
Is it a trial version whose time has run out?
Is it a new retail version that you didn't activate within the required period of time? "Sarah" wrote in message ... | My word application had been working fine until I went to use it today.

This isn't a trial version. I bought this computer with the new Window's
Vista a few months back. I hadn't registered word yet, but did today thinking that may be the problem, but still no luck. "Tom [Pepper] Willett" wrote: Is it a trial version whose time has run out?

Not all computers come with Word these days. Most have a trial version. Did
you specifically pay for word or are you making an assumption that it "came with the computer". -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Sarah" wrote in message ...

You need to activate Office, not just register it. If it's a trial version
that means purchase a perpetual license. Note if you are planning on purchasing Office you might check into your options first, such as retail, before you buy. For example if you purchase the pre-installed trail version then the license is limited to the computer Office was installed on. That means if your computer dies your software dies with it. And if your warranty runs out on the computer your Office support, such as a new Product key, replacement installation, etc is gone too. And if you don't make the right choice if you choose to purchase the trial version you may not get your installation CDs which you NEED. The best option is to buy a retail version. If you qualify for the Home and Student version then that's the cheapest way to go, although it doesn't come with Outlook if you need it. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
