Can't use anything but the text tool, greyed out tools

Hello, I am on the free trial version of InDesign, and worked fine with it for the first day. But now, it won't let me do anything but use the text tool. Every other tool is greyed out and I can't select anything, I don't know why this is happening, it worked just fine before, I kept working on the same document and now suddenly I can't do anything but type.. Do you guys think it has something to do with the free trial? Does Adobe not want me to buy their software xD??

    The Trial only lasts for seven days, how long have you been using it?

    You Place images in InDesign documents: (File > Place).

      in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

      p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
