Downloaded worksheets losing all their formatting
 
Hi from Nicaragua!
 
I downloaded many worksheets which when I try to open them in word or as a PDF they are all jumbled up, images on top of text and vice versa.
 
Is this a known problem and is there any solution to it?  
 
Many thanks!

There �s no problem my dear!

Well, I �m not a computer expert so forgive me if my�explanation isn �t really understandable...
Here is normally what you get�when you�try�to open�your files:
�At the top of the page you can see it is written "Mode prot�g�" (in the English version of word you �ll see Protected View) you have to disable it in order to fix the positioning problem of the pictures and texts. Here is a link that explains how to do that.
Hope it helps you a bit! Abigail.

Sometimes it is to do with the different versions of word. The file may have been created for example with a 2015 version of word, but opened with an earlier version which it  cannot read properly.
