I have the same problem and I just got my laptop less than 2 weeks ago.

It sounds like you probably have a trial vesion of the software that has
expired or being activated. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

The consensus here seems to be that locked software means the trial has
expired. Several posts have noted the software is behaving like it is expired when it was just installed. What should a user do who has just downloaded, installed and activated the trial yet MS Word is locked and will not unlock? By the way, excel works fine. Also, per a previous post I attempted to activate twice. No joy. When I do Alt-F, I and select Activate, it says the trial is good until March 31, 2010. Please anyone: How can this obvious MS Office bug be fixed or worked around?

When you installed it, was your PC set to the current date and time? Was a
trial version installed on it previously? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "jdc" wrote in message ... The consensus here seems to be that locked software means the trial has expired.
