How To edit Microsoft Office Files in Google Drive.

Google Workspace by Kimbley IT provides you with the best online collaboration tools, all from within your web browser. There are no programs to download and install, and you can easily collaborate with your team through Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

However, you will likely need to deal with and collaborate with other companies that use legacy file formats, such as Microsoft Office files, like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The good news is that Google Drive is fully compatible with these file types, allowing you to edit these documents without needing a Microsoft Office licence.

Google Drive supports over 300 different legacy file types, so no matter what you receive, Google Drive is likely to support the file type.

How to edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in Google Drive:

• Save your Word, Excel or PowerPoint document to Google Drive.

• Once your file is in Google Drive, double-click it to open and edit it.

  • It will work just as a normal Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide would, with any change you make automatically saved. The only difference is that the file will remain in Office format.

• Select File> Save As (Google Doc, Sheet, Slide) if you want to convert the file into a Google format file.
