Unlocking a Word Document.

[Guest]

I opened a new word document, went to start my typing, and a message pops up
at the bottom that says "This modification is not allowed because the
document is locked." So I was wondering how I unlock it!!

If you have a trial version of Office, perhaps it has expired. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831023 "How to convert a Office 2003 Trial
Edition to a Full Retail Edition".

If you have a regular version of Office, have you activated it? In Word or
Excel, click on Help | Activate Product. If you are activated, a dialog box
will pop up that says so. If you are not activated, the Activation Wizard
will start.

Hi, littlething. Lynneajean says this problem happens when she opens a
new document... a new document does not have a password.

How do I unlock a document? I had transferred it from a Pc to a Notebook and
I can't edit it.

Help, please

How did you transfer it, and what error message do you get?
