I wonder if anyone can help with this ?


I am an extensive user of Word but recently I have tried to open one of my old files only to find that there is a error message saying .....
"Proteced view. Editing this file type is not allowed due to your policy settings. Click for more details."


Clicking for more details takes me to another screen which doesn't give me much help !


I have done numerous researches on Google , all to no avail. The best item I found follows below but doesn't work ...... or I am doing something wrong ! The item follows now .....


"1. Open Word
2.Click on file and choose 'Options'
3. Click 'Trust Centre'.
4. Open 'Trust Centre Settings'.
5. Click 'Protected View'.
6.Check the options that you want to enable
7. Click 'OK' to save changes.
8 To disable protected view , uncheck all 3 options listed in 6. above"


I include the above return from my researches because , to me , it is concise and clear ...... but I cannnot get it to work.


Please help if you can.
