Is it open somewhere else on your computer? Close Word and reopen it and see if that works. Or reboot your computer. See if that fixes it.

Sounds like it may be a trial version that was good for 30 or 60 days. At the end of that time it will let you read your files, but not edit them. You have to purchase Microsoft Office to continue editing them.
Kind of like being hooked like a fish, isn't it?
Good luck.

Heck with Windows Office. Download OpenOffice at http://www.sun.com for free.

reboot, then try again...
or
browse the options toolbar, or in HELP, search for locked documents...
if it still doesn't work...
uninstall Microsoft Office, then install it again...
