i've got the fancy new one and when i open any existing document, or a new one, it won't let me type. the message at the bottom of the screen says "this modification is not allowed because the selection is locked"
also all of the menu options are greyed out. has microsoft rumbled my moody copy of orifice?
please help!

Not sure with this version, my bet is it has put in registry entries and you'd have to reinstall the O/S also, but double check that.

I had a question in a quiz last week...in which year did Microsoft market Word? I punted 1982...pure guess based on my Spectrum having that date. Wrong it was 1983. I hate year questions...I have enough trouble knowing what this year is.  |

It's true, they do tend to roll into one another, unless you've something to hang them on. I try to mark the years in terms of STFC football seasons, which works going back lots of years, but recently they've tended to be very forgettable....in fact since 95/96 |

If for some reason you really need MS Office the beta for the 2010 version is available and seems pretty stable, free and fully functioning until its released.
