What does "modification not allowed...selection is locked" mean? Office Neophyte 12/18/2008 4:14:01 AM 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!
