I believe there's a GW Knowledge Base article on this, but I don't recall the number right off hand. You can search for it. Here's what works for me. While you're reading with the mouse cursor, left click so you're now fully in the document, then use the F6 key to cycle to where you are prompted to allow editing. After you allow editing, you should be ok.
You can also save the attachment instead of trying to open it from Outlook. Then use your application key (context menu) to unblock the file. Look under properties from the context menu. Someone else may be able to give you better directions; I set my Word settings to allow editing of email attachments, so I don't have to deal with that when I open attachments. But, you'll only want to take that approach if you're willing to be especially careful about which attachments you do and don't open. It leaves you vulnerable to viruses and malware from Word macros..

I have Word 2010. I tried to read it, but with limited success. I can read it with the mouse but not with my arrow keys. Is it something to do with the fact that it is protected? If that is the case, how do I unprotect a document in Word 2010? Kind regards Morné If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
