Typing text is disallowed with msg "The modification is not allow.

[Guest]

Recently I purchased Vista home. Offlate, I'm unable to edit/create a doc as
typing is disallowed with a message "The modification is not allowed as the
selection is not valid"

Maybe you have a trial version of Office 2003 or 2007, and the trial
period has ended. Or maybe you have not activated your Office software.

What happens if you start Word and click on Help | Activate Product? If
you are already activated, a dialog box saying so will appear. If you
are not activated, the Activation Wizard will start. If you have an
expired trial version, a dialog box will prompt you to enter a valid
product key or convert (purchase a key) online.

Note that Windows Vista (any version) is an operating system and does not
include any version of Word or Office. Most likely you got a trial version
of Office 2007. Possibly you have not activated it, or it may have expired.
