Default Edit read only word doc

Hey all,

so i got a word doc in onedrive. i'm not sure if this makes a difference but im the creator of the file.

now, when i open the file in readonly mode, word lets me edit the file but ofcourse does not let me save. all good so far



but when another user opens the file in readonly mode, word does not let them edit the file. if the user opens the file with no readonly, they got full access and can save.

how can i make the other users edit the file in readonly mode (and not be able to save) the same way i can?

any ideas?

thx!

If the "other" user has a fully updated subscription version of Office, they will see an un-editable view, indicated by the drop down on the title bar. See screen shot below.
