Why not do it?

The page Bob refers seems to give several possible causes for this behavior, one of them the program isn't 'activated'. If you've ruled out the other possibilities (try it with other documents), then activate it. What's the problem?

Or download OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org and use it's word processor to edit MS Word .doc files.
