Cannot Type anything in Microsoft Word

[lalala13]

Can anyone help? I can't type anything in Microsoft Word ...at the bottom of
the screen a message states that 'this modification is not allowed because
the selection is locked.' So I guess how do you 'unlock' it to be able to
type?

Thanks

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 2003 and click on Help | Activate
Product, or if you start Word 2007 and click on Office Button | Word
Options | Resources | Activate? 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.
