My Microsoft Word 2007 was working perfectly fine earlier today. Then just a few minutes ago I tried to go in and finish what I was doing earlier and not i get that modification is not allowed because the selection is locked message.
I never got anything telling me it was going to expire, as far as I knew I had the full version. (Cousin set it up for me and told me it was the full version.) But now Im getting this. I tried all the ways that were mentioned above and nothing. Everything is grey and i cant click it.
What should I do? I never set it to protect anything. And like I said, I was just using it.

Assuming you have Word 2007, either you have not activated the product or it
is a trial version that has time expired.
