Found it! You should find that this code works:

***TechCommunity is shortening URLs, which breaks the HTML. See attached .docx file for full reference.
I suspect we had two issues here:
- First, the embed code is using the unaltered document URL, which does not allow anonymous access. When an anonymous access link is created, the URL is more of a "pathway" than a destination, so even if you've shared a document anonymously before, that specific link must be used for an anonymous user to get to the document at all. The embed code must use this anonymous access URL, or your users would be asked to authenticate.
- Second, inserting the anonymous access URL (like the one you provided in your last post) in the embed code requires a bit knowledge of SharePoint special sauce. If you simply paste over the entire document URL generated by Office365 when you asked it for embed code, you'll likely overwrite that "&action=embedview" bit. If that happens, your iFrame will be empty, so be sure you're preserving that piece when you replace the URL used in the iFrame code.

Can anyone help..
I have followed the above which works, but is only allowing the file to be viewed on a laptop/ computer and not on a smart phone or tablet?
Any suggestions as to why?
