If they don't, they won't be able to open it.įor the example you reference, it seems like it's a Microsoft public website hosting a Word file that then opens in Word Online. To access these files in SPO and OD4B, yes, they'll have to have an O365 account. The Office 365/SPO admin can change the default to open in the desktop app. You can later open the file in the desktop app if necessary.
When you open an Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote) from SPO or OD4B, the file automatically opens in the browser version of that Office app. So users could click a link on our site and have the document open - regardless of if they have Word/Office installed on their machine.įor internal file sharing and opening, if you're using Office 365, the files are living in SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business. I’m curious to know if there’s special web extensions their running or if perhaps I can simply see their docs in my browsers because of our enterprise license.Īlso any ideas on making Word documents more usable for users who don’t have Word already installed on their machines?ĮDIT: to better clarify, I’d like the documents to be available to external users from our public facing website. I noticed Microsoft is posting more and more Word docs on their website that all seem to open directly in the browser for viewing or downloading. However not everyone has Office installed on their machines so that means they may not be able to open the documents or use them as needed. As part of our accessibility (ADA/Section 508/WCAG 2.0) initiatives for our organization we’re really trying to steer users away from PDFs and towards documents in Word or other Office software.
This may not be the best thread but just in case.
