documents become read only

I was reading this chain.... is there any more development to fix
this problem>>> today I opened some word, excel documents i created
but now all the icons are grayed out and also I cannot edit
anything.... even on a newly opened document..... I even re-
installed OFFICE 2003.
Thanks.

Sounds like your trial period expired.
