give these steps a try.
1, open Microsoft word, 2, alt+f=files, 3, up arrow to options press enter. 4, now down arrow until you hear; trust center, or I think you could press the letter "t". note, do not press enter at this point, 5, just tab enter on, trust enter settings, hear using arrow key choose protected view, now tab and uncheck the box, Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments let me know if this helps. take care. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Judy Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 6:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] protected mode, enable editing Hi, I am using IE 8 with Jaws 13. Lately I will get an email from someone with attachments which are word documents. When I open them Jaws doesn't read it, but it says it is protected mode because of the attachments. Then it says enable editing button but it does nothing when you press it. If I get a sighted person to click on that enable editing button I can then save it as a document and read it, but only doing it that way. Someone suggested here to someone else to press Insert and Z when they mentioned protected mode; I tried that and nothing happened. There has to be someway of getting Jaws to read this thing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
