Are you sure you were clicking on a toolbar in Word? The only thing I know
of that you can right-click on and get a message about locking or unlocking
is the Windows Taskbar.
There is no way (that I know of) to lock a toolbar in Word (unless by means
of some add-in). Even when a document is protected for forms, you should be
able to access the toolbar menu. If it is protected in some other way, then
the Forms toolbar wouldn't do you any good.
If you are getting a status bar message that "This command is unavailable
because the document is locked for editing," then this indicates that your
copy of Word has not been activated or is a trial version that has expired.

This is the is exactly what I am going thru right now. The product key I
have been trying to use is on the bottom of my laptop and it will not except
it. Is this fixed by upgrading the Vista package or a service patch?

No. Read that label again (or for the first time). It does not any anything
about Office, that's the one for Windows. If you paid extra for Office, call
the computer manufacturer where to find the label. If you don't know if you
paid extra for Office, assume that you only got a trial version and it is
now time to pay for the suite.

tberry- If you have MS Office '07, then the problem may be that you need to
register the product before your Office programs will work properly. You'll
need to locate your 25 charcter product key. This key is located in the
package in which the program came.
Also, you should be getting prompted to enter this key when you launch an
Office program such as Word. The prompt text is incorrect stating that
Micrsoft does not "require" the key, rather that it only "recommends" that
you register the product. This is simply not true. You have to register the
product eventually as the program only allows you to bypass the product key
prompt 25 times before it will lock or "diminish functionality" of your MS
Office programs. It sounds like your "locked" toolbars are the result. Good
luck!

i got my laptop with all the programs pre installed and without packaging.
vista wont let me down grade my office programs back to 2003 and nothing
works. how can i possible activate my word if i never recieved a product key.
i realise that not having a product key is probably a fault of the business i
purchased the laptop off of but the office help function has been
infuriatingly unhelpful. is there anyway that tefch support or some such can
remedy the situation or will i never be able to use word again on my laptop?
