In recent Office versions, like Office 2010 and Office 2013, there is a feature called Protected View. Protected View allows only document reading, helping users avoid potentially harmful software from the Internet.
You can enable or disable the Protected View feature in Office 2010. For Office 2013, the steps are similar.
Step 1: First, open the application you want to enable/disable the Protected View feature (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Step 2: Choose File -> Options.
Step 3: In Options, select Trust Center from the left menu.
Step 4: Next, choose Trust Center Settings.
Step 5: In the left menu, choose Protected View.
Step 6: In the Protected View section on the right, if you want to disable Protected View, uncheck the three checkboxes as shown.
If you want to enable the Protected View feature, mark all three checkboxes.
After that, select OK to complete the process.
Executing the steps to enable/disable Protected View in Office is straightforward. For other Office applications, you can follow the same steps as in Microsoft Office Word mentioned above. Best of luck!
