From this Microsoft site:
This works in Word/Excel/Powerpoint:
Click on File > Options
Click on 'Quick Access Toolbar'
Choose commands from:
Select - 'All Commands'
Scroll down to 'Enable Editing'
Select it and Click on 'Add'
An icon will appear at the very top left of Excel/Word/Powerpoint.
Open a document that has the message 'Protected View This file
originated from an Internet location and might be unsafe.....'
Press Alt button a maximum of 4 times. This enables you to access the
main menu items by typing a letter - but also allows you to access the
'Quick Access Toolbar' using numbers.
The 'Enable Editing' icon looks like a notepad with a pencil, it
should have a 2 next to it.
Therefore the full command is Alt x 4 then press '2' for the pop up
to go away.
The specific number will vary, depending on how many other items are already present in the Quick Access Toolbar.
I only needed to hit Alt once.

Hmm, that's not working for me. The "Enable Editing" icon is greyed out, I assume because I can already edit the document, and I need to "Enable Content," because macros are disabled by default...

Ahhh. I see what you mean. I found a solution for "Enable Editing", but not for "Enable Content". I'll keep looking.
