I'm using Windows 7, and Office 2013. If this is what you have, try this. My experience with Word's Protected mode is limited to the handling of .XML files from say the New York Times. If you choose to open an .xml file and use the Context menu to pick the "Open With" menu, you can pick to open the file with Word. As soon as the file is open, and the announcement that it is in protected mode is done, do first a Ctrl-s to save. It will tell you that you can choose to edit the file by tabbing to the Edit selecting and hitting Enter, the hit Enter again on OK. After that, you can save using Alt-f, then back-tab until you hear "Browse". Hit the spacebar right there, and you are offered the file name, where you can modify the present file name and tab over to pick the wanted file type, then tab to Save, and you've created the desired new file and file type.
The original file type still exists, and is unaltered. From within the .txt file I've created this way, I enter the search term caret p, caret p, ( or ^p^p) to use for jumping from article to article. Once entered, you can use the usual ctrl-pageup or ctrl-pagedown to do the jumping.
