Protected view means that the document is being opened in safe mode, in other words, in a way that won't harm your computer if there's a virus or other malicious piece of code embedded in the document.

It does not mean that it's protected from being tampered with.

Tab around and look for a button that says allow editing, this will open the document up for reading.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] A Word Mystery

I'm using Office 365 and Jaws 18.


When I get a document from this file sending service called Hightail,
the Word document is shown to be in protected view. This is happening to
me on two different machines.


The files are not protected.  I sent the file I received to the
individual who sent it to me and they opened it and it was not a
protected file that they saw.


A friend of mine uses Thunderbird, it reads just fine.  Any ideas?
