Can a file that has a stop sign state be transferred out of File Scrub Trusted Copy if it is reviewed again and cleared by appropriate personnel?

A stop sign state indicates that the file has failed the hidden data stream review, has a binary or archive file extension, or is found to contain steganography or an intelligent agent. If the file has a stop sign state, that file cannot be transferred using File Scrub. I experimented with File Scrub, reviewing three or four Word files. All of the files came back marked “failed.” I believe I am running Word in an out-of-the-box configuration without any special features, macros, and so forth. Why are the files failing? The Word files may be failing review because the View Hidden Text option is turned off in Word. Windows users can set Word to display hidden text through the Tools > Options menu by selecting View > Formatting Marks > Hidden Text. Mac users choose Word > Preferences > View and check the Hidden Text check box. This adjustment only has to be performed once for a given installation of Word because View Hidden Text is an application-level setting. Always check the Review log
