How can i modify document and unlock
In case link is broken, here's excerpt:
*********************************** Word/Excel file locked for editing From Start=Find/Search locate the files with this string ~$*.do*;*.tmp and delete them then start Word and see if you can access the files. When there is a crash Word doesn't have the chance to clearup the open temp files and can think that your file is still in use. Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office Products family MVP ************************************************** ****** Look for Excel .tmp files and delete. I haven't tried this. Just quoting from an expert. http://groups.google.ca/group/micros...wse_thread/thr ead/6a0a8cde4502ec8b/e6cef89656dc2210%23e6cef89656dc2210 Hope this helps. Epinn "Epinn" wrote in message ...

Is it a trial version that has expired?

If the answer to Epinn's question about it being a trial version, then IF you
are a qualifying student (I am kind of assuming that "assignments" refers to classwork rather than workplace assignments) - keep in mind that there are some awesome savings on the price of MSFT products, including Office, for qualifying students.
