What does this mean? Unlock what keys? Product Key? Password? Encryption?

Hi Wendy,

If you are talking about it wanting a MS Office Product Key Number, then you may need to buy one first. Most store bought computers (OEM) that come with Office is only a trial version. The Product Key Number for Vista is not the same one and will not work.

Until you buy one, if you wanted to, you can use this free program called "TextMaker Viewer" to view your Word documents.

TextMaker Viewer 2008 - Free document viewer for .doc, .odt, .tmd, .rtf, and more

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: how do i unlock keys

Do you have a laptop with a special function keylock set?

This is an XP newsgroup, not Office. While you may get reasonable answers
here you will getting better help in an Office newsgroup.

If you have been using the trial version which was supplied on your computer
when you purchased it, you have probably reached the end of the trial
period, and will now have to purchase the full program..

As you can see from the other answers you got, nobody really knows what you
are talking about. Since you are apparently reluctant to take the time to
give a full description of the problem, etc. per the links I gave you, I
can only suggest that you have a competent computer tech come on-site and
fix things for you. This will not be someone from a
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad type of place.

Perhaps someone else reading this thread will have the patience to slowly
drag the necessary details out of you in order to give you the free help
you want. EOT for me.

Since this has nothing to do with Microsoft Word, and everything to do
with her installation of Windows and her hardware, her post is
on-topic, and probably in the correct newsgroup.

By the way, Colin, the newsgroup in which this article is posted is
NOT a "Windows XP newsgroup", but a "Windows Vista" newsgroup.
Specifically, "microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices".

UNless, of course, she cross-posted. IN which case, I offer my sincere
apologies.

Please reply to the correct thread and article.

Re: how do i unlock keys

I stand corrected on the OS. Having said that, it is not an Office ng. The
OP gave such a sketchy description of the problem that who knew whether it
was related to using special keys in Office or just a kb problem with the
computer so I gave the suggestion. She really is way too vague.
