changing editing as default

How do I set both Excell and Word to "editing" at the opening of the file (default). I DO NOT EVER want to open these documents in "viewing" formats. I open these files to make changes, so it is extremely annoying to have to change this on every document every time I open one!!!!!!

I not sure how this started but I hate this every day

    I assume the latest version on the subscription??

    The files are saved on a network aceess by others.

    I want to open the file and be able to change it without clicking on a button, or some pull down menu!!!!!!

    Word and Excell!1!

    Which version of Word are you running?

    Also, in which type of locations are the affected documents saved?
