I can't type in Word

[JayStar091]

When I am trying to type in Word I get this message at the bottom: This modification is not allowed because this selection is locked.

I get this message whenever I want to type or press anyother button in word.

Please tell me someone knows what is going on and how to fix it.

Hi Jay,

This is because the document that you are trying to modify has been 'Marked as Final'. Does the following symbol appear in the status bar?

This indicates that the document is read-only. To toggle this, click on the office button, select 'Prepare' and click on 'Mark as Final'.

That didn't work. Word won't let me click, type, or copy anything. The same message came up everytime.

Hi Jay,

With the 'Home' tab active, do you get the following message if you hover your mouse over, for example, 'Paste'?
