I tried that and it's still locked up. It seems the program itself it
locked up. When the program opens, the cursor blinks with a short line under
it which I assume is the location a character should appear, but does not
allow entry of any keystrokes. When I try to type, a message comes up at the
bottom of the screen that says "this modification is not allowed because the
document is locked." Lorraine

This is exactly my problem. I don't know why it is locked, in fact I have
never been able to use this program since I have had this computer. I get the
same message. I see the same blinking cursor with a line beneath but can't
enter anything when I type. Please help me solve this. Thanks Suzy

The answer is not going to change. Either you have not activated Word, or it
is a trial version that has expired.

I bought my Dell in 2005. I have had both Word and Excel since that time
running perfectly.
My computer crashed last year..took it to a repair shop where they backed up
my files but that was it..I got it back with no Excel and Word.
Found an old copy of a trial version of each and used it in desperation to
work on my files.
Now that has expired.
I used the product key that is labeled on my computer but because I had 2003
running, it won't recognize it.
How do I get my word and excel back?
Thanks

You must install the correct version of Word 2003 (probably Word 2003
standard OEM). If you installed a different version, the key will not work.
Very often, OEM Office is BIOS locked so you probably need the Dell
installation disk. Try Dell to see if they will sell you a replacement disk.
