A family of Microsoft word processing software products for creating web, email, and print documents.
Are you signed in to Word for Mac with the same Microsoft account that has your Microsoft 365 subscription, and does it show as active under Word > Settings > Account?
This message usually means Word has not confirmed your license or is still syncing the file from OneDrive or SharePoint. Even if the document looks loaded, Word will block editing and Copilot until your account status is verified. Please sign out of Word, close all Office apps, reopen Word, and sign back in, then check that your subscription shows active.
