The message you are getting is probably something like "This modification is
not allowed because the document is locked." One reason could be that the
document is protected; see "You receive a 'This modification is not allowed
because the document is locked' error message when you modify a document in
Word 2007 or in Word 2003" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=818852.

If the message is "This command is not available because the document is
locked for editing," see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=930698.

Please run me through the process of unlocking Microsoft Word 2007. When I go to type, I get this code that says, This modification is locked.

By either activating the software, if you have purchased it, or by
purchasing it if your trial has expired.
