How to Edit Office Files in Google Drive from Shake Up Learning
How to Edit Office Files in Google Drive
It's no secret that I like Google Chrome and all that goes with it. However there are sometimes when I wished that I could work with Office files as easily as GAFE tools. Well, thanks to the new Google Drive and a little bitty extension, you can. It has actually been around awhile but being a chronic user I have not had a need until recently. I was reminded of this extension from one of my favorite edtech bloggers at ShakeUpLearning.

Long story short, as described in ShakeUpLearning, you will be to have a few conditions met to make it work its magic.
You must
1. Be in Chrome.
2. Have the Chrome extension, Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides. Get yours free from the Chrome Web Store or just click here for a shortcut.
3. Once you are in Chrome and have installed the extension just click the file and it will stay in the Office format unless you ask it to save as a Google format.
Happy editing.
