Re: Word cannot open an anonymous link.
It's an undocumented, incomplete roll out of a feature. Someone stuffed up because literally 99.9% of users use the desktop apps. So why make a feature useful for 0.1% of users? Please fix Microsoft!!!

Word cannot open an anonymous link.
I can use the CSOM to generate an anonymous link, for example string link = context.Web.CreateAnonymousLinkWithExpirationForDocument(documentUrl, ExternalSharingDocumentOption.Edit,DateTime.Now.AddHours(48)); will create a URL: https://exampledomain.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/RM/EQfxCwDEyHZEpie0kni1HhoBGHJthvKfUmMd_bmyYRHgPg If I start Word, and Click Open->Browse and paste this link in to the filename, it fails to open the document. I can confirm it opens correctly in the browser: if I paste this link in the browser it opens in the online editor. I can click "Open in Desktop App" and it will open correctly in Word. I can not open the link from Word, which is what I really need to do! Can you please fix this bug or provide alternate means of doing this?
