I'm opening a word document from my Onedrive folder on my local machine and it's opening in Word 365 in read-only mode. Why is this and why can't I open the document in Word 2010?

Whenever I open a file from OneDrive folder it opens as read-only. I have repeatedly tried to change the properties to OneDrive but it reverts all folders and files back to read-only. I can no longer save to the OneDrive folder. WTF?
I'm having this problem too. I'm opening the files from the onedrive section of file explorer. It stopped happening for awhile but now, since the 8.1 update its occurring again. It's very annoying because if forces me to save a new version of the file every time I work on the damn thing.
Hello,
Do you find the issue with a specific Word document or with all Word documents?
How are you accessing these files, is it from within the Office applications or directly from One-Drive?
If you are syncing files from within Office 2013 applications, then you may remove and re-add the One-Drive account and then verify the results.
If issue still persists, you may provide us a screenshot of the issue and help you better.
I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further help.
Thank you.
