I have microsoft office on my laptop (excel, word, powerpoint) and I want to use office on my tablet. But it tells me I can only use it if I have microsoft 365 but to the best of my knowledge I do have this, since I can use all the services on my laptop. Why can I only view things in office on my laptop, and not actually alter the documents? Can I change this?

    Hi @Aafje van den Boogert ,
    Since the tag office-itpro focuses on general issues about Office desktop applications, I suggest you post this issue to Office for Android:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_install-msoffice_unknown-mso_OPandr

    Or Office for iPhone or iPad:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_install-msoffice_unknown-mso_OPiOS

    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
