I have some older workbboks which I am attempting to open in Excel 2016, but open in 'Protected View' with a message 'Office has detected a problem with this file. Editing may harm yourcomputer...

When I click on Excel 2016 Help, the following message appears:
Exit Protected View and edit when the red Message Bar appears


  1. Click File > Edit Anyway.

    But when I click on File there is nos such option 'Edit Anyway'.

    Can someone please help?

    thanks

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Try right clicking on the file ...Properties.....General.....Unblock.

Be sure you are happy with the file though
