Opening revision mode when selection is locked?

[SM NONA]

Was sent my manuscript text by the publisher to revise, but my program is in
Read-only compatability mode. Can't access Revision Mode. "Selection is
locked." Updated to Microsoft Office, but still can't access. Am hanging 300
feet up by a small root, largely incomputerate, but desperate to be saved, if
there are caring souls out there. Thank you!

Are you using a trial version of Office (Word) that has expired? Or,
have you not activated your copy of the software?

If so, see:
