Quite true, but most of the protected files I receive are things I actually
need to edit, such as reports. The protection served its purpose, keeping
the document safe in transit, but now I need to alter it anyway. I haven't
tried this, but, should the need arise, Word allows one to reprotect a
completed file. Office 2010 offers the easiest scheme since the old DOS +R
and -R commands. Of course, the simplicity of the operation means it's
worthless for true security, for which one would need to impose a password.

The purpose of protected view is to guard against viruses. Once protection
has been eliminated by changing this setting, it would be unwise even to try
to open a protected file unless you are completely confident of the source.

Ah, here we go, Lauren,
You have to do this from the MS Word side.
Same basic procedure:
Alt F to open the file menu
Arrow up to options
In the drop down menu, arrow down to trust center Tab to Trust center
settings You'll now be in another drop down list Arrow down to protected
view.
Now you can tab through and check and uncheck the options you like,
including open documents from email in protected view.
Of course this means that when you open a file in any other MS program, such
as Excel, you'll also have to change the settings in that program if you
want all files to open in an editable form.

Hi Lauren,
There may be a simpler way, but I always use the JAWS cursor and go to the
top of the page, the second line down will contain the message "this
document was opened in protected view" I do a left mouse click on the word
"Enable" in "enable editing" which is at the end of that line.
You could also change the security settings in Outlook so that documents
aren't automatically opened in protected view.
Off the top of my head I don't remember how to change these settings in
2013.

Hi:



Does anyone know how I can change this reading protected mode, which I get
in attached files, in Word 2013 using Jaws 14 and Windows 8 into a regular
document so I can access it?



Sincerely,



Lauren Sincerely,

Lauren
