Word wont open documents on my Acer laptop

I can open a blank document and save it and reopen it but I can't download a word document from a professor and open it on word bc it says opening in protected view and it just continues loading and never opens it.

Answer
Save the document from your professor to the local drive and then in File Explorer, right click on it and then select Properties and click on the Unblock button.  Then use File>Open in Word to open the document.
