MS Word 2007 'modification not allowed document is locked'

[Guest]

I experiencing the same problem with new HP w/MS Vista, MS Word 2007 is
locked, 'modification not allowed document is locked'. Trial version
activated but when I click on 'Review' tab the editing buttons are not
available, when I click on 'alt F' I cannot find a 'resources' button. I
have not received any notifications that the trial period is about to expire.
Please help I am not able to perform any necessary tasks!

Hi LindaB,

If you're sure the product has been activated and the trial period hasn't
expired, you might try a suggestion from one of Bob Buckland's replies to
someone. A slightly modified version of it is here:

===========================================
"There are a couple of scenarios that can cause this. One of the most
common is a corrupted activation file, another is the software not 'passing'
one of the MS Genuine Advantage checks for Windows or Office (and those
aren't always correct <g>).


With all of the Office apps closed and in a profile that has administrator
privileges, use Start=>Search to search for the file opa12.dat and rename it
to opa12.old, then restart the PC and open Word to see if you can activate
Office 2007."
===========================================

Hope this helps.
