Hi Ted, Rather than Alt-7, Control-Alt-A brings up a dialog for saving attachments. Protected view denotes a document originating on the web. You can designate it as unprotected by viewing its properties in the folder where you saved it. Within the properties dialog, find a control named unblock, activate this, and then tab to Ok to save the setting.
Hth, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Ted Larson via Talk Sent: Saturday, February 4, 2017 12:10 PM To: t...@window-eyes.com Subject: perplexing outlook attachment Dear List: I am using Microsoft office outlook 2016 on my windows ten computer. I received an email saying it had an attachment. When I hit the alt-7 it said attachment not found. In the process of forwarding it to my wife to see if the attachment would show up on her computer, I did the control-F to set up forwarding and as I tabbed past the subject, it listwed the attachment and it said to use alt-down arrow to open the options menu selected button. By doing that, I got into the context menu and I arrowed down to open and then I hit enter there. It opened the document saying it was in protected view. I was able to read the document with no trouble. My question is, why did my initial alt-7 say there were no attachments and what do I need to know about protected view? Thanks for any clarification.
