Office Document Previews

A site administrator can choose which type of office editor to enable for all Office documents: the Files.com editor, Microsoft Office for Web, or disabling entirely. By default, your site will be configured to use the Files.com editor for previewing Office documents.

When integrations for editing Office documents have been disabled, the previews will be generated as PDF files, which can result in some unexpected formatting.

Some older office document formats, such as .doc, .xls and .ppt will require conversion before they can be displayed. This can also cause unexpected formatting changes.
