Yes it's legal, i'm sure it's activated. This isnt my computer though i'm
just trying to learn how to use excel on my friends computer while she's out
of town. I seen other worksheets that they have done, and when i opened them
up to look at them you can't edit those either. Its not protected either I
checked that to. When I went to activate at the top under help it didnt do
anything, so i dont know what that means.

It sounds like a trial version that's expired.

I'm guessing but I would think help, help about Microsoft Excel
would answer the question about Microsoft Product Activation. Does
anyone know for sure or some direct indication.
