No "Edit" icon on Microsoft Office files in Dropbox mobile app
According to Dropbox support article, I should see an "edit" icon (pencil-and-paper icon) when I open a Microsoft Office document from within the Dropbox Mobile app on my iPad Pro. I don’t see the icon.
I can open and save Office files stored in Dropbox by opening them from within the Word, Excel, etc. app. I just can’t open them into Word from the Dropbox app.
Suggestions will I’ll be appreciated.

Dropbox is rather slow when it comes to updating the documentation, specifically when a visual element has changed but the functionality is the same. The icon you're looking for looks like this now...

Well that changes EVERYTHING! Thanks, that solves it.

Jay, I’m having problems sending the screen capture. I keep getting "An unexpected error occurred" when I try to attach the file (that's as opposed to an expected error, I suppose? 😊).
I've tried attaching the file in Safari for iPad and in Firefox for Windows, with the same result.
On Safari for iPad, I click on the Choose File box in my Reply, then maneuver to the photos on my iPad and click on the screenshot file.
On Firefox for Windows, I drag the file onto the box on the Reply window.
So, two platforms, two different browsers, same result. I guess I need a little guidance on what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks.
