Hello, David.

 

I, too, have been experiencing this with protected files. What I have been
doing is:

 

Control F and arrow down the "home" ribbon (it is quite a ways down) to the
"save as", and enter.

It will tell me it cannot open so I tab twice to "enable saving" button and
select this choice.

It then allows me to resave it and I can open it without a problem. But,
just to be certain, I save it as an .rtf.

 

I hope that this helps, and that you have not lost a toe over it!

 

Kathy

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
