| 750313 | 2009-02-22 11:06:00 | Hi guys, long time no see. Ok so I am starting back at uni on mon and I wanted to edit a word file and I opened word as per normal, only to find that after about a sec all the buttons on the ribbon grey out (cant click on anything) and cant type. I tried all of the other Office apps but to no avail, I had the same prob. Any ideas to try guys? |

| 750317 | 2009-02-22 19:21:00 | Do you have a full paid license code installed ? The way you describe it, thats the same thing that happens after the 60 day trial period of Office 2007 Ends - it allows you to open documents and read them, but you cant do anything with them. |

| 750319 | 2009-02-23 00:19:00 | hmm I did have some trouble activating it, I wonder if it failed to activate. Ill try re-activating and try reinstalling it. Is there a way to tell if it is not activated an on the 60day trial? so I don't have to wait 60 days to see if it worked.... |

| 750320 | 2009-02-23 01:30:00 | Word Click the Microsoft Office Button office.microsoft.com and then click Word Options. Click Resources, and then click Activate. |

| 750321 | 2009-02-24 11:40:00 | Ok well I tried clicking on the activate button and it makes the mouse an hourglass for a sec but nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it says that an important file is corrupted or not available. I renamed the office folder in ProgramFiles and tried to get it to install again but the same problem. |

| 750322 | 2009-02-24 21:42:00 | Rename the office folder back to normal, run Revo uninstaller, and it'll delete all leftover M$ office files. Run CCleaner's reg option also. Then, install office 07 again and activate when installing |
