Typing message error

I have an Asus Eee PC netbook which came with a Microsoft Works 2007 trial.
I'm unable to type anything on a Word document. An error message flashes
briefly at the bottom of the screen, "This modification is not allowed
because the selection is locked." I'm baffled. Is this a computer problem
or a Works problem and how can this be fixed? Thank you.

I would be surprised if any system nowadays came with a Works trial; more
likely it is an Office 2007 trial (and if it *is* Works, then you're in the
wrong discussion group). If the computer is quite new, then you are getting
the message because you haven't activated the trial. If you've been using it
a while, then the trial has probably expired.
