How to open Microsoft Word 2013 in edit mode from the server
asked on
Well, it was opening in read only mode and in read mode (meaning with the arrows). Then, I Googled a bit, and Microsoft said to:
Go to File | Options | General and uncheck the Open email attachments and other uneditable files in reading view. So, it does now open in Edit Document "view" but I still have to click on Edit Document in order to edit it. (even hit the return key).
I read somewhere to uncheck the three boxes under Protected View in the Trust Center. Did nothing for this.
I should say that my Word documents on the client computers open in Edit Mode. It is when I open it from SharePoint that I have the problem.
FYI: I am leaving work to go home, so I may not see your answers until tomorrow, but I will get back to you promptly.
