No need to install Office, open Edge's new tab Office side toolbar to quickly access Word, Excel and other services

by Technical otaku - 2022-09-06 2255 0 2

In fact, since last year, the Microsoft Edge browser has built -in the function of " opening Office files in the browser ", that is, users do not need to download files. When they encounter Office files, they will be automatically opened in the Edge browser, just like directly in the browser. Opening a PDF file is as simple as it is, and it also saves a lot of operation steps (it is an advantage of Microsoft integrating its own software). If you prefer to complete a series of work in the browser as much as possible without installing other software, there is also a free Microsoft Office web version available, and you can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other products on the browser, as long as you have a Microsoft account. .

There are also integrated Microsoft 365 shortcut buttons in the Microsoft Edge browser, but not every user may find it. When opening a new index tab page, you can find Microsoft 365 related functions in the upper left corner, and quickly open a specific web version of the program in the browser . If you often use the Microsoft Office web version, you can also open the "Office Feed Field" and let the Office button be fixed to the sidebar toolbar.

From the Office feed field of the new tab page of the Edge browser, you will see Office, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive, OneNote, To Do, Calendar and Skype in order, these functions are all web versions, if you are like me It is very convenient to use Office less or even if Office is not installed on the computer, just click to open the relevant functions.

STEP 1

Open the new index page of the Edge browser, click " Page Settings " in the upper right corner to open the layout and other related options. My habit is to close and simplify all the functions of the new page as much as possible, leaving only one field to search the web page, so in the layout configuration Select " Custom ".

STEP 2

Find the " Office Feed Field " under the page settings and open it, and there will be a row of Office web version buttons on the left, such as the office software that Word, Excel and PowerPoint users often use.

STEP 3

For example, if you want to open or edit a Word document, but Office is not installed on your computer, you can directly open the document or create a new document through the Microsoft Office web version, just log in to your Microsoft account. Use, although the free version may lack some features, simple file browsing or editing is fine.

For detailed introduction and teaching, please refer to "Free Microsoft Office Web Version Word, Excel, PowerPoint, open the browser and use it".

The online version of Office looks the same as the computer version, the difference is that as long as the browser can be used, the document is automatically saved in the OneDrive cloud drive, and the file can be exported when needed.

Three reasons it's worth a try:

  1. Microsoft Edge browser integrates with Office 365 to display side toolbar in new index tab

  2. Quickly open online functions such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneDrive, etc.

  3. Simple file viewing or editing even if the computer does not have Office installed
