I cannot do any modifications to my document because a message comes up and
says the document is locked. I need to know how to unlock it

Is this Word 2000, 2002, 2003? If so, have you activated it (Help | Activate
Program)?

Is this a trial version of Office 2003? If so, has it expired?

If the program is neither expired or unactivated, see
