Jorge, this is good information, needless to say. Two qualifications: First, I'm finding increasingly that instead of pressing alt and f at the same time, I need to press alt, then f, followed by I, e. But your method used to work for me and might still on some documents.
Second, I choose not to make the permanent change because it could result in contaminated files being opened on my system. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of TheHangMan Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2016 2:35 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] protected documents help Hi, once you're in the file, you can press alt + F, then I, then E. That will enable editing. The trouble with that is that it only works for that file. To permanently change this, you need to press alt + f, then up arrow to options. You will find the options for this in either security or trust center depending on what version of Outlook you're using.

After I open the doc I turn on the JAWS cursor and go to Enable Editing and place the JAWS cursor on the E in Enable. Next, I use the PC to JAWS command and editing is enabled and I save the doc.

I am running Microsoft Office 2013, Jaws 17 & Windows 8.1. When I download documents, it is in protective view. I have gotten the message that it is in protected view because it has been downloaded from the internet. Since it is in this view, I have problems reading it with Jaws. How do I change this so I can read these documents? Thanks so much for any information!
