Hi,I am using the Alfresco Version Community - 6.0.7 (r2ba893dd-b113) with the ability to edit Office documents online.

Hi, I´am struggeling with the same problem: from the alfresco doc bib I can open via AOS the document in Word but it is always write-protected. For my work it is important to have a stable workflow with those kinds of documents.

I looged off and re-logged in Office 365 and tried severals Alfresco-Users (Admin too), even docs in the home-directory are write-protected . My neighbour have not these problems on the same Alfresco, different user and MS Office 365 (his license)

Yes, we both using Word 16.23, for him its no problem to have access.

1. Upload a Word doc (docx) to Alfresco

2. Click the uploaded doc to see the details page

3. Open the doc via the "Edit in Microsoft Office™" button

and then it is read-only in Word. I have to copy that document but that isn´t a solution. I have no possibilities to unlock my own document in word for re-editing.

Tried it with docx, doc, txt. I put a password for opening the doc, saved it in Alfresco and then first I had to write the password and after: read-only. No chance to get rights.

Can´t imagine, that only we both have this issue. We´re using Mac also. I disconnected AOS in Word, tried different word-to-alfresco-user -lgoins and also differnt alfresco-Login, even the admin-login for word-to-alfresco and alfreso.

So, which configuration you use? OS, Word-Version ? What did you tried on the local machine? Somewhere is a status change from :Alfresco allow to work on the doc TO Opening in Word and deny to work on the doc. Who is guilty, Alfresco or Word ?

Here a Screenshot from my MAC, latest 365 Word. Write Protected...

The Document was edited before without Problems on a WIN10 an very old Word365 Version ( 16.0 ) without Problems.

One think we can be sure : Does MS like what we are doing ?
- Using Alfresco as an alternative to Sharepoint ?

I dont think so !

How should we solve the problem without knowing it ?

Migrate to Sharepoint ?

i dont think so !

Migrate from O365 to Libre office and keep Alfresco as a rock solid an open solution.

Mac OS X Mojave 10.14 und Word Office 365 16.23 (190309). My neighbour can edit, I get only-read message. In the moment of re-opening the document for editing in word it seems, that word gets a status change (change of rights) through the sharepoint-protocol. 1. Is it possible to have a look to that protocol? 2. Or it is a local problem on the OS. 3. Or it is a word-bug, that randomly some users get and other not. Other ideas

Migrate to Sharepoint? Then you get other problems By the way, it is possible to make here a group for best practicing alfresco and share expierences?
