Everything is Read-Only

Hello Everyone!!!!

Recently, when opening Microsoft word (even a blank document) when trying to
edit it, I get a message saying it is read-only and locked. All documents I
open do the same thing and I can't even save in word, there is no option to
do so. However, I am able to open files in WordPad and even edit them. What
do you recommend?

Thanks!

Maybe you have a trial version of Office 2003, 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.
