Enable Editing in Word document
I am the author of this document that I created on Word 2016, version 2407, August 2024. It resides on my laptop and on a server where I save my important documents.
I have to click the "Enable Editing" link every time I open it.
I have tried several suggestions found online on how to turn this off. None work on my computer.
For instance, in trying to follow the various online advice I have experienced the following:
- Under Info>Protect Document, there are NO options to turn it off.
- From File>Info>Protect Document there is NO option to stop this nonesense, only options to increase the security.
- Under Account, there are no options relating to security.
- File>Options>Trust Center, there is no "Protected View" option, and all check boxes are disabled.
- When the Review tab is selected and Restrict Editing displays, there is only a checkbox for No changes (read only ) and this is NOT what I want to do.
Does anyone actually know how to get rid of this annoying and demanding button?

Hey, I provide https://booklonghorn.com/heater-repair-in-corinth-tx/. I want a suggestion for you. How can I use word to track my writer since I do not write content for my website by myself, so do let me know how can I track my writer word to make sure he is doing well
I recommend that you start a separate thread for your question. The current thread was started in 2024 and deals with a different topic.
Downloaded documents will require that you Unblock them (this may apply to documents that are "downloaded" from a network drive as well). Do the following: In File Explorer, locate the icon for your document, right-click it and choose Properties from the context menu; in the properties window, click Unblock and then click Apply.
