I use this same unblock method all the time and I can always tab to the
Unblock button and hit space bar to activate it. It's then when I lose
focus. I happen to route the mouse to the bottom right and then move
back up by clip to the Apply and OK buttons. But if you Alt-Tab away and
back the dialog should have focus again and you should be able to tab
around.
Regards,
Tom

Hi Karen,
The most common reason for documents being in protected mode is that they
were downloaded from the internet.
Therefore, before opening them in Word, highlight them in the folder to
which they were downloaded, press the Applications key or Shift-F10, and
arrow to the Properties option, and press Enter.
In the Properties dialog which opens, you'll have to route your mouse
pointer to the bottom left of this dialog, and then move the pointer up
until you find a button labelled Unblock, and then left-click this button.
Finally, move your mouse pointer down to the button labelled Ok, and
left-click that button.
All of this mouse pointer navigation is due to the fact that the buttons are
not focusable in the normal way if you follow the steps I've given above.
At any rate, once you perform the left-click of the Ok button, you'll be
back in the folder where you were before, and then you can go ahead and open
the Word document, and, probably, you'll find that the document is no longer
protected.
Hth,
Rod

Can someone please tell me how to take a Word document out of protected
view? Using Word 10, and Windows 7.
Thanks.
