Hi Lissi,
I'm using Word 2007—a good reason, I guess, not to upgrade! I had heard of docs
appearing in protected mode, but didn't realize that particular bug-a-boo was
introduced in 2010.
It sounds like perhaps Larry has a promising solution or work-around to this
problem.
Good luck!
Deborah

Dear Deborah,
I finally asked for help here because a friend with no vision was stuck on the
same problem and I couldn’t be of assistance. Both of us have benefitted.
Thank you for your suggestion. No instructions are too elementary for me! I
appreciate the details.
Could it be you haven’t had my problem because you open downloaded books or
documents in k1000 or something other than Word 2010 or above? The protected
view thing started when I was forced to buy a new computer which had Windows 7
and word 2010. If the protected view which prevents you from doing anything in
a document until you get rid of it is a gremlin, then the ribbons that come
with word 2010 are trolls! I’m accumulating keystrokes to regain my former
independence with Word. Many of the old keystrokes still work, but not all.
It’s a process and being on this list helps.

Hi Lissi,
having never had this happen, I am assuming this box is not in the document
window, but in the area of the tool bars and menu bar.
if that's the case, turn on the JAWS cursor by pressing the minus key (top
right key on the numeric key pad). Press the page up key and then move down one
line at a time until you get to the the line with box.
I don't know how comfortable you are with JAWS, so please forgive me if this is
remedial stuff.
Anyway, hold down the control key while using the right or left arrow keys
until you have the JAWS cursor/mouse pointer where you need it and do a left
click. Voila!

Dear Booksharian Friends,
When first opening a bookshare book there is a yellow line at the top that says
protected view with a box that has to be clicked before work can begin. Using
JAWS how do you get the cursor up there and to the box so you can make that bar
vanish. I have JAWS but have been using my eyes to do this but it is such a
slow, painful thing. I would be so relieved for JAWS to spare me this. I use
JAWS for everything possible, for all of my emailing, proofreading, everything,
but sometimes don’t know how to get the cursor to go places.
Gratefully and Always with love,
Lissi
