How to Be Able to Edit Microsoft Office Documents in Google Drive

From freem


If you want to edit Microsoft Office documents in Google Drive, you can follow these steps:

1. Upload the Microsoft Office document to Google Drive: You can do this by clicking the "New" button in Google Drive, selecting "File upload," and then choosing the Microsoft Office document you want to upload.

2. Open the Microsoft Office document in Google Docs: Once the document is uploaded, right-click on it and select "Open with" and then choose "Google Docs."

3. Edit the document in Google Docs: Once the document is open in Google Docs, you can edit it as you normally would.

4. Save the edited document: When you're finished editing, click on "File" and then "Save" to save the edited document in Google Drive.

5. Convert the document back to Microsoft Office format (optional): If you want to save the edited document in its original Microsoft Office format, click on "File," then "Download," and choose the appropriate Microsoft Office format.

Note that some formatting may not transfer perfectly from Microsoft Office to Google Docs and back again, so it's a good idea to double-check your document after editing to make sure everything looks the way you want it to.
