Philippe, is it MS Word that is opening the file and asking for product key? If yes then the copy of Word on the computer is likely a trial version. This comes preinstalled on many computers. After using it for a time, 90 days I think, the product stops working until a license fee is paid to MS. If the above is the case I suggest download and install OpenOffice from the official site. Then use it for your document editing/creation. If downloaded from the official site it will be no cost, will not require registration and should do what you're expecting re document editing. The official site is https://www.openoffice.org
