Since the reviewing, editing, and viewing feature I cannot copy and paste from a read only document. I have to gain access to even copy and paste. My job requires me to copy and paste from upwards of 10 documents. Since word won't let me copy and paste from a read-only or viewing document I have to check them out of our SVN every time. Does anyone know how to turn this feature off and go back to the original word?

    MSFT seems to have gone far off onto the other end of the spectrum, and completely removed it for me. Unfortunately, I actually use the button frequently as a quick way to swap between viewing and reviewing, depending on what documents I am referencing or working on. I'm on v2303 Monthly Enterprise Channel.

    Click on the subscribe option at the top of the post, and then an Unsubscribe option appears - click on that. Not exactly intuitive UI design.

    I know that the problem has been fixed. How do you turn the feed off. My apologizes for not knowing how.
