When I save a document and name it I save it in Word Document and close the
document. When I return to that document again and try to do any editing or
make additions/corrections I am told that The modification is not allowed
because the document is locked. I am totally unable to get back into that
particular document.
Can anyone help me here. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to unlock all
my saved documents in Word and Word Pad? Thanks.

I assume you can not edit any Word document. If this is the case you either
have a trial version of Word and your trial period has expired or you have a
full version of Word and have not activated it. Help > Activate Product

If a trial version, you'll need to buy the full version.
