Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. On another list I was told to open the attachment and then press F2 and a box will come up and then to tab to enable edit. I did that and it worked. The excel sheet was not in protective mode after doing that. Ed

Highlight the document in question. 2. press the Applications key and click on Properties. 3. In the General Tab, tab down until you hear "Unblock" and click on this. Now, open the document, and it will not be in protected view anymore. hth, Michael Boyd From: Feliciano G Hello, You can unprotect a MS-document individually by opening the document whether it's MS-word, MS-Excel Etc... By hitting ALT to get to the menu bar then once the file menu opens, look for the info tab and hit enter Then you can look for enable editing and hit enter. Now if you want to unprotect documents automatically, on the info tab, look for protected view setting and hit enter on there. Then you can choose which ever sources you want MS to open protected documents from unprotecting automatically. Best regard, Feliciano From: Adrian Spratt This is good information. To simplify the task of opening an individual protected file, just press the following key sequence: 1. ALT+F to open the File tab 2. I to activate the Info tab 3. E to activate the Enable Editing button Note. Removing protected status implies exposing your system to an increased security risk. You'll need to be confident about the source of any protected files you open in this way. Adrian From: Dean Martineau For best results, open the protected attachment in Excel. Go to Options with alt+f, t. You may have to hit this combination as three keystrokes rather than two. Press End to get to the bottom category, Trust Center Settings. Tab five times to Trust Center Settings and press space to open it. Arrow to Protected View settings. Tab and uncheck all the undesired protection, especially Files from Outlook Attachments. Affirmatively exit the dialogs and you should have much better luck next time. Dean Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time! If you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S". That spells THEIRS! ----- Original Message ----- From: Pinky To: JAWS-Users-List 2 Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2016 4:58 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to turn off protective mode in Hi Everyone, I received and excel spread sheet in my Outlook 2010.
