Office Still Disabled - Read Only Mode
I am using Office 2003 Professional on Windows Media Center
I just did a complete System restore on my computer for other reasons, and now that I am re-installing Office, I am not able to access any controls. In other words, I cannot edit any document, because the controls are all grayed out. This is a legit version of the software. It won't let me activate when I goto HELPACTIVATE PRODUCT... When I open WORD, EXCEL, I can open a document, but I can't edit it. No password was needed to open the file, and I don't remember putting any of the files in READ ONLY mode. Yeah...READ ONLY, that a better description of what's going on, I can only read files and documents. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated. |

This sounds like either a time-limited trial version or that the number of
times you have opened without activation has exceeded the threshold. I suggest a call to your MS subsidiary who could activate it if it is a full legitimate version -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "Xaos" wrote in message ...
