[Guest]

just bouught a new pc. came with word 2003, i can open word, and view
documents, but i can't delete change, or do anything to alter the document. i
can't open a blank page and make new documents, all the button on the bars at
the top (print, save etc etc) are all dim and therefore don't work.

It's probably because you have not activated your Word/Office
software, or because you have an expired trial version of Office
2003. What happens if you start Word and click on Help |
Activate Product? If you are already activated, a dialog box
saying so will appear. If you are not activated, the Activation
Wizard will start. If you have an expired trial version, a
dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid product key or
purchase a key online.
