Cannot Edit a Word Document

I was editing a 6-page Word document on my MacBook Pro using Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.6.  When I reached page 4, I was no longer to edit the document.  In addition, I was unable to delete or add text on pages 1 through 3, which I had just edited.  I would appreciate any ideas or advice.

Sounds like you have a document with Protection applied to one or more sections, and you just entered a section where editing is disabled.

Have a look on the Tools menu for the command "Unprotect Document".  If it is there, your document is locked.  If it says "Protect Document", that's not it.

In which case, I need a lot more detail about what you're seeing.  Remember, I can't see your screen from here, so you to tell me what you are seeing.
