I was using word yesterday. A document was open and may arm leant on the
keyboard. Suddenly I was not able to edit the document. I closed the word
doc and opened it again. I restarted the pc but was still unable to edit the
document.
I tried Excel and the same problem occurred. Some tool icons on the tool
bar are greyed out in both word and excel.
I did nothing (deliberate) to activate or set security but something has
been activated. Could it have been combination of keys when I leant on the
keyboard?
I tried selecting Tools>>Protection but the selection is greyed out.
My keyboard still works eg when I tried using MS Help to find the cause
Please help. I'm stuck!!!!
 
Have you activated Office or is this a (now expired) trial version of Office
that was supplied with your PC?
