Hi,
for some reason I cannot write a new document or make any changes to any
existing ones. My 9 year old was messing about in word and I think she has
put some type of lock on because a messge at the bottom of ALL my word
documents says 'this modification not allowed because document is locked'.
Most things in the tool bar is in grey so I cannot even go into them. Problem
seems to be with office because I cant change anything in excel either, the
whole office system seems to be locked (if thats at all possible). Tried
everything even COMPLETELY uninstalling Microsoft Ofice and then reinstalling
hoping that the problem would go away but its still there, so does that mean
maybe there is some type of lock on my laptop keyboard, tried everything
don't know what else I can do. Really need someones help.

Thanking you in advance
Madihah
