Cannot type in an open word document

[Guest]

Bottom of word document screen gives this message when trying to type in the
document
"This modification is not allowed because the modification is locked"

Is the document protected? (Tools | Unprotect Document) If not, either you
have not yet activated Word or it is a trial version that has expired.
