How can I copy the text from a locked document?

Question

My microsoft word document got locked since it was only a trial. -.-
I already tried the usual thing, highlight and right click. It doesn't let me click copy. Any other way to copy it? Thanks

Answer 1

Here are some of your options for legally paying less than full price for Microsoft Office 2010:



First, if you're a student, you may qualify for the Office 2010 Professional Academic edition at a pretty good price ($79.95):

Second, if you’re interested in buying just Word, check out this URL, especially the group of listings marked "Desktop Programs":

Also, if you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2010 file format (.docx), here’s a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word (and Microsoft Works) to read and write Word 2010 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents. Some new features of Word 2010 will be lost or converted to straight text in the conversion to the earlier version.



Good luck.

Maybe instead of right clicking, highlight the text and Hold "Ctrl" then press C. That sometimes works for me if it won't give me the option to copy it your way. If that doesn't work and you've tried other ways you could always just take a screen capture button (right beside the F12 button) and paste it into paint. You could then just copy and paste that image right into another word doc that isn't locked. Hope I helped :D

You send Microsoft a bunch of money; they give you a key to unlock it, and then you can copy to your heart's content.



That is one reason why I will NEVER EVER download/use a "trial copy" of ANY thing! If you decide you don't like what you tried, you can't access the documents, images, or what ever, that you created with the trial copy!
