How Do I Unlock My File
I have put off buying Microsoft Word for a long time and I had been relying on Open Office. But due to the professional nature of my work lately and due to some formatting issues, I decided to take the plunge and buy Microsoft Word.
The Problem I am now having is that the file I am trying to edit is "locked". I do not see any menu options to unlock the file. Please help ! |

On the other hand, the mystery continues. I have not yet been able to figure out how to unlock my file. |

I have discovered that, although I purchased this copy of Microsoft Word, I did not somehow properly go through the activation steps. I am thinking that this might be the cause of not being able to use all the features and having files, that I know are in write mode and not protected, being able to be saved.
I have successfully now gone through the steps of activating my Microsoft Word app. I think I will post here the steps I went through because I had some stumbling blocks to work over and it might help someone and give me good karma. Next I am going to see if this has fixed the issue I have. |
