Hi guys, so if a document is in protected view, what do you do to open them? I download but it still shows in protected view. help? thanks!
Ahh, the dreaded protected view. :) If you hit f6 once, it should take you to the place where you can enable editing. I believe it's one click of the right arrow followed by a tap of the space bar. Then you'll f6 back to your document.
Try that. Hopefully I explained it correctly.
You can go control P as if you going to print the document, and the first option is enable
edit view, press enter on that, then the print screen appear, escape, and you will have a
document that is unprotected.
Otherwise, move your document from downloads to other places, e.g. Documents, or any
other founder, that will do the trick as well
I simply do Control + S to save. A box pops up that gives the option to keep the document protected or enable editing.
You can also go to the file menu, then arrow down to Info, then tab to "enable editing.
What a truly annoying aspect of Word.
I just go to the document, press the applications key or open that menu and arrow to edit. Thats a couple down. Press enter on that and it opens in edit view.
I love all these different sollutions. These are all things I hadn't tried yet but plan to add to my box of tricks.
Thanks guys! I appreciate it! well, all your suggestions worked. except the doc one but I'll figure that out. but thanks, anyways.
If it's a word document then you can just press alt+f to get in to the file tab and then press and release I and then press and release e.
When I was in college, it always annoyed me if a professor would send me a file in protected mode. When a file is protected, you are unable to read it with your preferred screen reader.
Not at all. You just open it in edit view.
Now you can read it with any screen reader just fine.
It was better in the days of Microsoft Office 2003.
Microsoft office 2003 was better all the way around.
I'd strongly disagree with that, but that's just me.
The current version of Office can be configured to work like you want it to, older versions weren't as flexible.
I've used office 2003 and 2010. Overall I'd say for ease of use 2003 was way easier, but 2010 has nicer features. Can't speak to the current version though. Paying 90 bucks a year for 360 just doesn't appeal to me. Doesn't hurt that my workplace licensed Office 2010 and then 2013 for home use for a substantial discount. How well does 2016 actually work with JAWS/NVDA?
Beautifully.
In fact, the latest version of Jaws has extra things built in for the latest version.
I love my subscription. It allows me not only to keep the most current version, but I can put my copy on all my personal devices, plus share it with up to 5 others who can do the same.
We each get a TB of cloud storage and 60 minutes of free Skype time per month to boot.
Cool for my 90 bills per year I'd say.
I got it for free! somehow... lmfaooo. I like the current one although I miss windows 7. that one was so easy and the best feature it had? save and send tab. that's not there anymore. :(
This board was very helpful. Thanks to the OP for posting.
No problem! Like I said, I purely miss windows seven but I do however, like the mail thing. receive emails instantly! yeah!!!
anyways, your suggestions have worked beautifully!
