When opening a document from the downloads folder or an e-mail attachment, Word opens it in Protected mode. Often (but not always), such documents open, but immediately lose focus. When the document opens, instead of identifying Microsoft Word, NVDA reads simply "Protected view".
Pressing the down arrow reads nothing (and does not move focus - pressing many times does not scroll screen either for instance).
Pressing alt twice to move focus to the ribbon and back gives the document focus and it can be read then. I have the "Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view" option turned off (press alt+f, then t, then alt+o to toggle, then ENTER to close Word options).
Pressing NVDA+F1 while the document has lost focus shows the following log:
