How to make an office file always open in Protected View?
Usually when office files (e.g docx, xlsx, pptx etc) are downloaded from the internet and opened, these files open in Protected View.
How can I set the default setting of a particular local document to always open in Protected View?
A naive approach is to upload it somewhere and then download it! But is this somehow possible without that?
P.S: I am not asking about making a file "Read-Only".
Solution 1:
Based on information available from the Microsoft Website - you have 2 options:
- Manually opening the office program, and then open the document and selecting "Open as Protected View" - Which is NOT available on Mac version of Office.
- Set the "Trusted Location" to nothing (On Office 2016 there is a button saying "Disable All Trusted Locations".
To set the trusted location, click on Options - Trust Center - Trust Center Settings - Trusted Locations - Disable All Trusted Locations.
Note: These are settings found on Office 2016 so I can't say for 100% sure if it is available on Office 2013. And also none of these are available on Office for Mac (at least if it is - I can't find it yet)
