Are you creating a new document, or are you trying to edit one that already exists? If the latter, did you copy it from CD/DVD backup so that it probably has it's read-only attribute turned on?

Also, in order to provide the best help that we can, we ALWAYS need to know what operating system you're using.

Can we get a tad more info please ?

Document type ?
Are you opening a Word 2003 doc in Word 2007 ?
Are you using a full registered version of Office 2007 ?

Why I ask is, I've seen folks install the time bombed demo which locks certain "functionality" after a certain date.

Thanks
