Have you activated your copy of Word? Check under the Help menu. If there is
a command there about "Activate" try it. If you have a version that doesn't
require activation there won't be such a command. If you have already
activated, it will tell you that. If you have a trial version, you need to
purchase the full version.

I am using Office 2003 with SP, which is running on Windows XP SP2. We
origionally had Office 2000 on this computer and a bunch of documents were
created with Off. 2k, school documnents, and they were all Protected. This
is
dealing with one user. We wiped and reloaded the computer (fresh XP and
Office 2003 install), the documents were saved (on the server) and then
put
back in. Now when we open any of the documents we cannot unprotect them.
If
you go to the "Tools" menu there is no "Unprotect Document", just Protect
Document. Even if you hit protect document then go to tools again it is
not
there. So she cannot edit the documents. I even tried copy and pasting the
existing document into a new document, still no go.
Any ideas?
