> Hello,
>  
> I have been asked on many occasions how to get a file that is in the protected mode, into a file that can be edited. I wrote this to help people to do just that but by keyboard  commands and not the mouse.

> When someone sends a document through email, it usually comes in as a protected file in order to protect your computer from viruses. That means, you can read it but can’t edit it, save it, or do most things you want to do with a file. To convert those files from protected to standard access files, here are the steps using keyboard and not mouse actions.
>  
> Open the email with the attachment you want to access.
> Use shift and the tab key to move from the body of the email to the attachment.
> Hit the enter key to start the opening process for that file.
> A new screen will pop up,  use the left arrow to go to the  open button on that screen, and hit enter.
> Once the file is open, it will be in the protected  mode, and steps to convert it to a regular file need to be done.
>  
> To do that, hold down the alt key and tap the letter F for file
> A drop down menu appears, now Use down arrow until you get to the word, Info, and hit enter.
> A totally new window of choices appear, each one giving different pieces of  information about  that file
> To move through them, use the tab key until you get to the words, compatible mode, and hit enter.
> The document will now be just like any regular document that can be saved, edited, and printed.
