How to Work with the Microsoft Office Files in Google Drive?

Microsoft Office files are common, but if you are into Google Docs, sheets, and Slides user, you can change Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in Google Drive- if you know how to do it. On the desktop, you will need to use the Chrome Browser and an official Chrome extension to edit Microsoft Office Docs, using Google Drive’s Office Compatibility Mode. You can even edit them like that, or convert them to Google Docs Format, which will offer more features.

If you have some questions or doubts in mind, you can simply call the experts by dialing Microsoft office customer service number and fetch required help.

Now, let us start with the desktop, if the Office file you want to edit and share is still on the PC’s hard drive, you can upload it to Google Drive & just open it for editing in Chrome by using a Chrome extension. Open Chrome, and then go to the Office Editing for Docs, Sheets and slides extension page, Click ‘Add to Chrome’, and follow the on-screen guidelines in order to install them.

• Once, the file extension is installed, drag the Office file onto the Chrome window until you see a copy icon below.

• The very first time you drag the Office file onto the Chrome Window, the dialog box appears, Click ‘Got it’ to close the window. You will not see the dialog box again.

• The office file is uploaded to the Google Drive account & opened on the tab you are using. There are a limited number of features you can use to change the office file in the Google Drive account. However, if you change the document to a Google Doc, there are more attributes available, and you can share the docs with other users.

• In order to change the Word file to a Google Docs, select ‘Save as Google Docs’ from the ‘File’ menu. If you uploaded & opened an Excel file (.xlsx or.xls), the option will be ‘Save as Google Sheets’ & the file is a PowerPoint file (.pptx or .ppt), the option will be ‘Save as Google Slides’.

• A dialog box shows while the Doc is changed and saved to the Google Drive account. You can stop the conversion by clicking on ‘Cancel.’

• Once the changes are made, you can download the Google Doc as an Office file.

• The name of the real file is used by default, but you can change it in the ‘File name’ edit box. Then, Click on ‘save.’
