    ENABLE EDITING message in all office programs

    Does anyone know how to shut this annoyance off for good? Sometimes MS's ""protective"" nature of their unknowing customers really gets on my nerves....

    thanks.

    There are some tickboxes under "File / Options / Trust Centre / Trust Centre Settings / Protected View" you can change.

    yes, but doesn't that have to be done like more than once? like for every new file that is downloaded from untrusted source? like the internet? and what about when the office subscription renews?

    I'm not 100% sure. I switched them off on mine just now, downloaded a file from this form that I'd not looked at before and it opened without the message, so appears to be usercentric rather than filecentric..
    Give it a try...

    BSB.
