Hi P.,
That message can indicate several possibilities, one of which is that the document has been marked as 'final' in Word 2007 or that
it is in fact locked for editing. Some other common issues can be:
(a) you had a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 that has expired.
(b) you had a 60-day trial version of Office 2007 that hasn't yet been activated.
(c) You have a paid up licensed version of Office 2007 that hasn't yet been activated.
to see if the app reports that it has been activated.

The most likely cause is that you are using a trial version of the software
that has expired. If it is a retail version, have you activated it?
