can't edit text-will only display

[Guest]

In word, I can open a document and read it (i.e a resume), but I can't edit
it. I was
able to do this on a laptop I used to have, but can't on this one.

Which version of Word are you using? Look in Help>About and tell us what
you see there...

It sounds as though you might have only the Word Viewer installed, not
Microsoft Word itself.

Alternatively, look up "Protect Document" in the Help. You may have a
document there that is protected against editing. The Help will tell you
how to unlock it.

Cheers
