Hello folks smarter then I: In order to prevent me from shooting my left toe off in frustration please help me with the following. I have settings that make all word and excel files that I save off emails are saved as protected files. This is grand. Simply trippy. However, and this is only recently, whenever I copy a compatible (i.e., unprotected) file or rename a file, when I open that newly named/copied file it becomes protected again. Please help. Please please. I searched online and all I get is how to trun off protection of all files downloaded from email. That is not what I had before and not what I want
