Office 365 - View Mode Only (Mac)
After installing Office 365 on a Mac. You only have the option to view and can't edit files.
If you still have the issue after confirming your Office License is active (call the Help Desk on 253-535-7525).
If you cannot edit documents in Microsoft Office on your Mac its probably because the app is either running in a view-only license state or using an account that lacks a desktop editing subscription.
Common Fixes to Re-Enable Editing
- Activate Microsoft 365: Click the app name in the top menu bar (like Word), select Activate Microsoft 365, and complete the sign-in prompts.
- Sign out and back in: Open Word or Excel, go to the application menu at the top, select Sign Out, quit the app, reopen it, and sign back in with your licensed Microsoft account.
