Don,

Open the document in question, and when you hear that said document is in protected view, press Alt F I E

And you will hear that the view status has changed.

I recoil from any definition of the relationship between artist and audience that is predicated on the audience claiming a sense of betrayal over who someone is or isn’t outside of the context in which they’re performing. What we know about an artist’s personal identity can be interesting and even illuminating; what we are entitled to know is … nothing, basically.

Hot damn, Glen!  Your solution works.  Many thanks.

Hi Don,

One other way to do this. Open the document and then do control s to save it. A dialog box will pop up saying that it is in protected view and ask if you want to change that. You tell it you do and then it will let you save it. You can save it this way with the same name, or if you need the original you can change the name.

Hi Don,

I agree. I didn’t know this other way, just this one. I used to be able to use the jaws cursor and go up and find the item to right mouse on to get to unprotected view, then things change and got upgraded. I came across this method by accident.

when I opened a word document.

I used to know how to turn off protected view so that my JAWS could read a file, but I can’[t remember nd googling didn’t give the answer.



Any help appreciated! I use Office 2021, Windows 10 and JAWS 2020.
