You have used too many times.

Hi Becky,

What happens if you select Help > Activate Product?

If it says the software is already activated, then see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/LockedFiles.htm.

Iv got the same problem! so annoying!

Unless you are using an expired trial version, first check that you have
activated the product. If Word (Office) is correctly activated, then see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProblemsStartingWord.htm.

Did you ever get a solution? I just developed the problem, after years of
use. ARRRRGGGGHHHH

I've tried your suggestions and didn't work. Is there anything else I could
try?

Well, Jay gave you two possible reasons:

1. Word hasn't been activated, or
2. It's a trial version that has expired.

If it's Word 2007, (2) is much more likely.

unlock word files

A) Open document > Select edit menu > choose select all > then choose copy from edit menu.
Open new document > edit menu> paste.
Select tools menu> choose options> window opens with options. Select form different tabs the edit tab> make sure that al desired boxes are selected.
Select save tab>choose and mark box>ask about properties
accept or Apply options and close.
Save new document different name. When saving it should ask if you want to save properties> choose not save. Maybe it asks if you want to modify properties> choose yes> select box archive amongst read only, hidden or archive.
If this does not work.

B)There are many 3rd party utilities which claim to reset forgotten word password:
The program that I recommend is the Word Password Recovery 5.0 It recovers/removes the "Password to Open" and "Password to Edit" for you to view and edit the document freely. http://www.recoverlostpassword.com/products/wordpasswordrecovery.html

Dear Microsoft, I cannot type anything on the Word Document.

The Key board just could work on the Word document.

Please tell me what to do

Thanks!
