The drawback of this method is that it eliminates some security protection. The method Justin gives takes no time and maintains security.

Open Microsoft Word. You can close the document that opens, if a blank one does load at start-up. 2. Press Alt plus F, followed by the letter T to bring up the options menu. Use your arrow key or press the letter T until you find the trust center option, and then tab over to the button that says Trust Center Settings. Press enter or the spacebar to open this menu. 3. Now use the arrow keys or press the letter P until you hear Protected View. Once this is highlighted, press the tab key, and uncheck the three boxes that you hear announced. 4. Once you have unchecked these boxes, press the OK button, which should save your settings. 5. Lastly, try to open the file that you want to view in Word. JAWS should now read it for you. I hope this is helpful.

Can anyone tell me how to get a word document out of protected view? I am using JAWS 17, Word 2013 and Windows 10 on a Dell Laptop. Many thanks in advance.
