anyone know about locked douments and how to unlcok them?
The usual reason for this is that the application has gone into "reduced
functionality" mode. Either it is a trial version that has expired, or, if a retail version, it has not been activated and has now exceeded the number of times it can be used before activation is required. -- Suzanne S.

If all new and existing documents are locked for editing, then it's probably because you have not activated your Word/Office software, or because you have an expired trial version of Office 2003. What happens if you start Word and click on Help | Activate Product? If you are already activated, a dialog box saying so will appear. If you are not activated, the Activation Wizard will start. If you have an expired trial version, a dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or purchase a key online. molly-ness wrote: tmy document is locked. i can't type or do anything, does anyone know how i get it back to a normal document? when i try to type it says "this modification is not allowed because the document is locked" could someone please help me. |

So how do we resolve this then? I think my case is the latter one -- "a
retail version, it has not been activated and has now exceeded the number of times it can be used before activation is required." Please do respond, i badly need your help here ASAP! I might need a step-by-step guide on how to unlock it. Thanks a lot... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The usual reason for this is that the application has gone into "reduced functionality" mode.

Well, you need to activate the product. If it's Word 2003, use Help |
Activate Product. If it's 2007, use Office Button | Word Options | Resources: activate Microsoft Office. -- Suzanne S.

Ok. Thanks a lot.
But what if the case was the former -- "a trial version that has expired?" How should you go about it? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Well, you need to activate the product.

If the trial version has expired, then you will need to purchase the
product. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "soopirman7" wrote in message ... Ok. Thanks a lot.

It is locked because this is a trial version that has expired or you haven't
yet activated the product. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "emmypoohbear" wrote in message ...
