We have recently ...... er ..... "upgraded" to Office 365 from a server based network.
On our server, I have a number of Word and Excel documents (forms etc) which I have saved either as template files, or as normal files set to read only.
As an example, I have an Excel document which is a 'blank' registration form/letter - anyone can open this, enter the details and print off the letter. As this particular example is read-only (and I don't need a saved version of the letter), whoever has used the document simply closes it.
I have uploaded these files into a folder in 365, but: 1) The template files won't open in Word/Excel online, and: 2) I can't see any way to assign read only status to any uploaded document (or convert it to a template of some sort).
I'd really appreciate any help in explaining how to do this with uploaded documents in 365.
To clarify, I need document/templates in 365 that can be opened and edited, but none of the edits are saved.
Thanks in advance.
