I'm in a trial period of using Microsoft Office. When I tried to open ithe
program and create a document, a blank page comes up that looks ready...but I
can't do anything to it and a message says "This modification is not allowed
because the selection is locked." I've tried several times...don't know why
or how it's locked, or how to unlock it!

Maybe the trial period has expired.
