Tips from the Training Department When you open documents or files from the Internet or from other potentially unsafe locations they may open in Protected View. You will hear JAWS announce this as part of the title of the document. Protected View is a read-only mode where many of the editing functions have been disabled for your security. This is to protect you from possible viruses or other content. Unfortunately, you may not be able to read or edit those documents until you turn off Protected View. It is very easy to do. In Office 2010 and 2013, just press the following combination of keystrokes: * ALT+F to open the File tab * I to activate the Info tab * E to activate the Enable Editing button. You can also accomplish the same thing by choosing Save As to save the document to your local hard drive. Additionally, you can change Protected View settings permanently in the Trust Center, although we recommend speaking with your Information Technology manager or administrator prior to making changes to your Protected View settings.
