Opening and editing Microsoft Documents
Introduction
The standard formats for documents in today’s business world are the three Microsoft documents formats
- Microsoft Word (docx) for documents
- Microsoft Excel (xlsx) for spreadsheets
- Microsoft Powerpoint (pptx) for presentations
- Microsoft Visio for drawings & flowcharts
OneOffice natively supports the four formats
In fact, OneOffice internally saves documents in these formats. Google Docs for example, has its own internal format and converts documents to and from this format, resulting in loss of formatting.
In addition, you can download our offline editor so you can work directly on your computer.
Your Browser is Now Your Editor

You no longer need to download and install Microsoft Office, you can easily and quickly edit your files straight from your browser.
This has a number of key benefits
- Your files are never lost as they are saved in OneOffice for you
- All your changes are saved real-time
- You can share and collaborate on files with your colleagues and not worry about version collision
