why does my microsoft word say its locked when i try to type

[splash]

i can not type on microsoft word as it says its locked

If your version of Word is a trial version then it has expired. If you have
actually purchased a retail version of Office/Word, then you have not
activated it.
Hope this helps

i need to write a cv asap how do i get the retail version..... you never
used to have to buy it

You always had to "buy" it, but it used to be included in with the price of
the PC/laptop. This changed with 2007.
To buy it, I would check out your local software hosue or Amazon, or I would
say ebay but check that it is not a "copy" from Malaysia - no offence
Malaysia.
If you need to do your CV quickly, ask a friend to borrow there PC/laptop.
Best of luck with the job hunting.
Best of luck

You could create one with Notepad. It won't be fancy but it's part of
Windows so you don't have to spend any additional money.
