How do I type on blank page when modification is locked

[Edna]

Everytime I open my microsoft office word 2003 to create a new document, it
will not let me type anything and my tool bar is not useful. When I try to
type, it appears at the bottom of the page that the modification is not
allowed, the document is locked. This is not trail version. I have purchased
and activited. Please help

Maybe the fix in the article "Why is my "Blank Document" not blank?" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm

will overcome the problem.
