I don't think Word 2000 even required activation or did it? Try opening the document using the Administrator account and see if you can save it then ... and if you can, while you're in the Administrator account, go into the control panel and user accounts and change your account to an administrator account ... if you can't get into the administrator account, call the place where you bought the computer. I'm not sure who "Lenovo" is ... probably some account they made at the place where it was built, to test something, I'm guessing, and they forgot to remove it. OR, the computer was owned by someone before you? If you can save the documents in the Administrator account, then this is not a Word problem, but it's a Windows problem and if you need more help you will have to go to a Windows group.

Try Activating word using Office button, Word Options, Resources, Activate Microsoft Office for Office 2007 I am not sure where you get to it with word 2000 - perhaps it is on the help menu or tools.
