Work with Microsoft Office Documents

Google Workspace enables you to work with Microsoft Office documents. Google Docs can open, save, and convert Microsoft Word documents; Google Sheets can open, save, and convert Microsoft Excel workbooks; and Google Slides can open, save, and convert Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

      You can upload Microsoft Office documents to Google Drive, keeping the documents’ file formats, using the method explained in the section “Upload a File to Google Drive,” earlier in this chapter. You can then convert the documents to Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides format, as needed.

      Work with Microsoft Office Documents

      Open a Microsoft Office Document in a Google Workspace App

      

In Google Drive, navigate to the folder that contains the document.

       The Word icon () indicates a Microsoft Word document.

      

Right-click the document.

      The contextual menu opens.

      

Click or highlight Open with ().

      The Open With submenu appears.

      

Click the appropriate Google Workspace app.

      In this example, you would click Google Docs ().

      The document opens in the app you specified.

       The .DOCX file extension indicates that the document is in Microsoft Word format, which uses this file extension. See the tip for information on other Microsoft Office file extensions.

      You can now edit the document.

      The Google Workspace app — in this case, Google Docs — automatically saves changes you make, keeping the document in its Microsoft Office format.

      Save a Microsoft Office Document in a Google Workspace Format

      

With a Microsoft Office document open in a Google Workspace app, click File.

      The File menu opens.

      

Click Save as Google Docs, Save as Google Sheets, or Save as Google Slides, depending on the app.

      The app saves the document in the Google app’s format in the same folder.

       The new document appears in a new tab.

       The original document is still open in its tab.
