How do I turn off Read Mode on Microsoft Office Word?

Asked By alyss aellaa 10 points N/A Posted on - 09/23/2014

Every time I try to open a file downloaded from the internet (either from my mailbox or random websites), Microsoft Office Word automatically opens it in Read Mode. While I am sure this is convenient for tablet users, it is a pain on a computer.

Is there a setting where I can choose to have these sort of documents opened in the normal view? Alternatively, is there a way to simply get rid of Read Mode?

How do I turn off Read Mode on Microsoft Office Word?

To get rid of read mode completely you must open word like you normally would,

Then you would click on File-Options then General, There you should deselect,

The option that says (open email attachments and other uneditable files in reading view)

That should solve your problem. Doing that will completely shut off read mode.
