Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides

In case you need to access documents, spreadsheets or presentations on laptops and computers that do not have the Microsoft Office, then do not fret as you can find an easy solution to your dilemma if you have Chrome installed.

Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides is an extension that enables you to open, edit or share Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents without too much hassle.

Following a swift installation that does not require you restart your browser, you can use the add-on immediately. The idea behind the extension is to enhance Chrome's functionality by turning it into a versatile tool for viewing, editing and managing documents you created via various Office applications.

The utility is designed to work with older and newer versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but it does not currently support Outlook, Access, InfoPath or the other software solutions included in the suite. Despite the small drawback, the add-on is simply to use and entails dragging and dropping the document in Chrome to open it.

The extension enables you to edit the file, change the styling or format the text, slides or spreadsheet in a similar manner to Office. After you are done, you can download the modified file in the same format to your computer to replace or have an additional copy of the document readily available.

If you are part of a team, then you will be happy to learn that you can share the file with as many users as you want. Sharing a document entails entering the email address and an optional message, if necessary. Alternatively, you can convert the file to a Google Doc format in case it is more convenient for all members who need to access it or bring their input.

All things considered, Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides is a handy extension for Chrome that addresses users who need to travel a lot and do not have access to computers with Office installed.
