Thank you so much for your answer. I had been searching the internet for days trying to figure out the problem The most common answer was to activate the software or that the trial had run out. This is not the case, as I'd been using it for 2.5 years. The other most common answer was to unprotect the document. Mine was unprotected. The third most common answer was open a new file and paste your document into that one. That was also not the answer because this was at a system level--across documents.

The link you gave solved the problem!!

For others who come upon this site, if you have a MAC, you can delete the temporary files. That was all it took.

Thanks much!
