In Microsoft Word's Preferences, there are actually multiple controls the setting of which determines under what circumstances protected View is invoked. I remember having to find more than one setting to turn off Protected View in Microsoft Word 2016.
Start by going to File -> Options, then, in the General category, find "Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view". Make sure this is not checked. Next, in the list of option categories, move down to "Trust Center", then tab across to the "Trust Center Settings" button. Select this button, which will open a list of categories. In my case, focus is placed on "Macro Settings". Move down once to "Protected View", then tab across to the checkboxes that let you turn protected view on or off for various files. For example, I made sure to turn "Enable protected view for outlook attachments" off. In fact, I turned them all off.
