Hi Tom, Try the steps from any 1 of the notes below:
There is a way to turn off protected view for Word documents. 1. From within Microsoft Word, Press Alt F followed by the letter T for Options and press Enter. 2. Press T to highlight Trust Center. 3. Press Tab until you get to Trust Center Settings and press Enter. 4. Use up and down arrow keys to highlight Protected View. 5. You can tab to four checkboxes, and you can uncheck the ones that you feel are safe to uncheck. Perhaps the last one regarding data execution should remain checked. This is what I have done at my work location and all seems to be well. Jim From: John Justice Microsoft Office 2010 treats imported documents in a special way if they originate on the Internet. The document is opened, but is placed in something called "Protected View". Jaws will not read a document in that state. In this mode, if you use a Say All command, a message appears explaining what Protected View is and why the document was handled that way. To change from Protected View to an editable version, press Alt F and arrow down to a button called "Allow Editing" and press Enter on that option. Once the document has been altered in this manner, it will read normally. It is recommended that the document be saved in the new editable format since it will not remain in that condition if the user exits the document. John and Linda Justice From: Janie Degenshein The protected view won't let jaws read and the non commercial use causes him to not be able to edit I have made a work around by tapping the right mouse button and escaping then we f6 twice and tab once to enable in this document and tap the space bar to accept then he can read and write in the document but we need to do all this each and every time Keep Smiling, Janie Degenshein From: Annette Carr I believe it has to do with security settings. I have no idea how or if this can be changed. Annette From: Scorpio4Ever You can fix this easily by going into trust center settings, then arrow down to protected view and tabbing to the various file types in that dialog box, then, for each file type, unchecking all of the check boxes. It would appear that Jaws is not reading the dialog box correctly, and so it may read as check the box to allow editing, however, this is not the case, and the boxes must be unchecked. Make sure you arrow down the list of file types, then tabbing to the checkbox to uncheck it. The checkboxes should read as "Save" and "Open", though only some of them have the open checkbox, but again, you'll have to do this for all file types. Hope this helps. Scorpio Original Message----- From: Juan Pablo Hello, I am using word 2010 with j14 918. In the last version, 13, I could perfectly navigate in a protected view documents. So now it seems impossible to do. Some of you can reproduce this problem? Best, Juan. From: Kimsan I had that very same issue yesterday, and I went into the trust center and unchecked the boxes for protected view and I was able to read it. Kimsan Take care.
