Gmail users can now edit Microsoft Office files straight from their inbox

Google has added a new feature in Gmail that lets users edit Microsoft Office files that come to them as attachments in emails - right from the mailbox. The Gmail attachments now have an edit button that automatically converts Office documents to corresponding Google formats.With the new update, Google has also increased the number of files formats that can be imported to Docs. Users can now import 15 new Office formats - including presentation files (pps, ppsx), macro-enabled files, and template files - all with improved charts, images, and tables support.Understanding that users at times need to open and edit an Office file without converting it to Google formats, Google suggests you install the Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides Chrome extension.
