can't edit files in word, phone says I need "office 365" subscription, lumia 640, build 10586.107

hey guys,

I have annoying bug, and I was wondering if I am the only one with it.

So, I can only view files in word, excel powerpoint on my lumia 640. I recieve notification on the top that says:"To edit and save, an Office 365 subscription is required."



As far as I know, subscription is only required for continuum?

lumia 640 with W10M, build, 10586.107

cheers guys

disconnect the ms account from the office applications, restart the phone, log-in with your Microsoft account into the office applications. Yes, this is annoying since Office Mobile is free in editing mode on small tablets and phones.
