Open attachments in viewer, not main app
HI,
I have office 2016 running on my computer, but as a security step, I would prefer currently to open attachments to email in Word, Excel and Powerpoint viewer rather than the main app.
Is there a way to ensure that attachments in outlook open in the viewer?
THanks in advance.

No need. The programs will ask before they switch to edit mode. They have a harmless, protected view mode built-in.

Thanks McKnife, I'm wondering therefore if these latest Wannacry attachments are mostly .pdf files or how are they causing such havoc if they are opened in a protected mode?
