Hey Chris,
You probably haven't, but have you been able to save or enable editing
on a document in protected view? My workplace sends me word documents
all the time, but they're originally in protected view for security
reasons. All that I have to do to edit them is just go with the touch
cursor under Windows 10 and hit enable editing. Would you know how that
would work under Android?

I've gotta say, wow! Compared to when we had absolutely no accessibility access to Word on Android in the past, go look at it now, if you haven't in a while. This is freaking impressive! It seems that 99.9 things, including the document body window itself, are totally totally readable.
I was able to create a small test document, apply some formatting, set my linespacing and indentions/margins, create a static header and footer for the document, and even align text.
I even made both a numbered, and a bulletted list within the file. Then, pushed it up to my OneDrive account, turned around on my mac running Windows 10 through Bootcamp, and was able to then pull that file from my OneDrive, open it up in Windows in Word, and it rendered absolutely flawlessly with all the formatting maintained etc.
This is absolutely fantastic!
I wonder when we'll get accessibility on Android to Excel, as right now, lamentably, it's kind of a mess. For one thing, you can't flick nor can you use touch exploration to move around the sheet within your workbook. Like, say, you want to put something in A6, then something else in say D6, you can't. At least not that I can see. The cell contents doesn't seem to read, nor can I seem to get Talkback to move me around the sheet, nor announce what coordinants I'm currently in.
This is a bit of a bummer, as I could see this being great on the fly for things like managing a budget. With the integration Office 365 has with OneDrive, I could start my budget at home on my mac, or my Windows 10 machine, then if I'm out somewhere, I could purchase something, then without having to wait to get home, I could just pop open my Excel document, file the expense, push it to the OneDrive cloud, and boom! Presto!
Now yall got me curious! I wonder if Google Sheets is accessible. Hmm! Me wonders, me wonders!
Chris.
