I can open the document, but i can't type anything. I can't do anything with
it. The bottom it says "This modification is not allowed because the
"selection" is locked."
 
It suggests that you either haven't activated your version of Office or you
have a trial version that has expired.
 
Alternatively, it might simply mean that the selection includes a content
control which has the "Content control cannot be deleted" option selected.
(Of course, if it happens with *all* documents, this explanation is less
likely.)
