Hi,

Some postings seem to suggest that you might get this if you're using a
trial copy of Word and the trial period has expired, or if you've never
activated the product.

There's also this (slightly modified) from a posting by Bob Buckland:

===========================================
"There are a couple of scenarios that can cause this. One of the most
common is a corrupted activation file, another is the software not 'passing'
one of the MS Genuine Advantage checks for Windows or Office (and those
aren't always correct <g>).


With all of the Office apps closed and in a profile that has administrator
privileges, use Start=>Search to search for the file opa12.dat and rename it
to opa12.old, then restart the PC and open Word to see if you can activate
Office 2007."
===========================================

Hope this helps.

Regards.
