Just to add one more thing to Chip's excellent explanation, if you are
dealing with a protected document, you must go to the Info tab in the File
menu. I believe the second option is to enable editing. You can press the
Spacebar, and you'll be good to go. I know this is true for 2010 and assume
it is true in newer versions.

Hi Jed,
Do you mean compatability mode or protected mode?
If you're opening documents from email or by downloading them with your
browser, this is likely to be protected mode; I believe there is a setting
inside of Word which lets you disable the use of protected mode (but it's
supposed to be a risk for viruses, but I believe it's a very low risk).
If it is compatability mode, this is usually when you get documents created
by other people who are using an older version of Word. The compatability
mode keeps you from using newer features in word that such people would not
have in their older copies of Word.
If you aren't getting these documents from others but are creating them
yourself, It's possible that you accidentally set your default saving format
in Word to be Word 2003 and earlier (which is what compatability mode refers
to).
Hth,
Chip
