found this..
Go to Tools>Protection & see if
there is a command in the submenu that
reads as "Unprotect Document". If you
attempt to remove the protection you may
be prompted for a password.

k.. try this..
If using 2007, go to the Review Tab of the
Ribbon if the Restrict Editing &
Formatting Task Pane isn't displayed. Then
click the Protect Document icon
(right end of the Ribbon) & choose
Restrict Editing & Formatting. At the
bottom of the pane click the Stop
Protection button - if there is no
password require you will be allowed to
revise the document. If prompted for
a password & you don't know what it is
you can't make changes anywhere the
Find Next Region... And Show All
Regions... Buttons highlight for you.

or do this...
here's a quick and easy way to solve the
problem:
Go to File--> Save As
Save the file with a new name (say
"newfile.doc").
Shut down Word and restart it.
Open newfile.doc
It'll allow you to make changes.
Don't bother trying to unlock the
selection / file. It's much too
complicated.

No, we bought it for 80 bucks at the PX
before jason left. But ive never actually
written anything on microsoft word but
once then my printer broke so i never
saved that document. it opens up when i
open a file that someone sent me and they
used microsoft word to type it up.
i tried the 2nd thing u said. we do have
microsoft office standard 2007.

thats probably why..
sometimes programs will shut down when u
dont register because it sorta looks like
a pirated copy. Thats what Windows does,
so that you can only use it on one
computer.
try registering it.

yeah i registered it, i guess last time i
used it the trial was still running , i
always pressed cancel when it asked if i
wanted to register it lol. It works now
haha, but i cant figure out how to write
the "minutes" up based on my notes i took
today and the example of the minutes from
the last meeting, so i just typed up my
notes and what i had started on so she can
help me out since this was my first day
today.
