    Yes, Word (and only Word) can edit collaboratively on the desktop if the document is in SharePoint (and OneDrive, because OneDrive is SharePoint).

        Only for OneDrive. SharePoint documents lock excel tables and only one person can edit at a time. Though multiple instances can see and update the changes as the locked version is updated. Something about credentials.

        Really? I tried it about a year ago and the official answer from Microsoft was that it was unsupported.
