[JAWS-Users] trying o open a word document in protective view.
I just received a word document from a friend and when I try to open it, it says protective view button, and I can't open it. How can I fix this? I am running jaws 16 on a W8.1 computer. Jim For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Jim, When focused on the document file, right click the file, and arrow up once and select properties. There on the Home tab, tab down to you find the "Unblock" button, and press enter on this. Now return to the file and it will open normally.

Good morning, Jim. Here are the steps you can use. 1. Press the Alt key and locate the File tab. 2. Down arrow to the Info option. 3. Press the right arrow to open that selection. 4. Right arrow until you hear the message pertaining to what Protected View is for. You should be on a button which allows editing of the document. Press that button by using the spacebar and the document should convert from Protected View to normal display. Different versions of Office call this different names but the functions are essentially the same. There may be a hotkey for that purpose but I don't remember what it is.

Jim and anyone else interested, when you come across a protected docx, the quick way is initiating the alt+f then i and e keystroke. the other way is to use the JAWS cursor to find and click the "edit" (not sure if it's a link or button) towards the top, about 3, 4 or 5 lines down and to the right. hthOn 4/21/2015 10:27 AM, John Justice wrote: Good morning, Jim.
