Editing microsoft office files in confluence
Asked by Tom Testing:

Hello all,

is it possible to edit Microsoft Office Documents (Word, PPT, Excel) directly in Confluence? I have tried to solve this function with the Office Connector plugin, but I can't get it to work. Can someone help me?

Thank you and best regards,  
Jakob

I can suggest you the app [Elements Spreadsheet,](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212486/elements-spreadsheet-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=question-2306402)available both on Confluence Cloud and on-premise since 2015. It's very simple to use, you can import Excel spreadsheets in your Confluence pages and directly work on them in Confluence. You can do all the basic stuff Excel allows you to do.

If you need assistance or need to discuss your use case in greater details, feel free to book a time slot in my [calendar](https://calendly.com/juliette-lallement/30min), I'll be happy to help!

PS: I am the Product Manager of the app

Office connector is used only on server/DC confluence instances and not on cloud. Out of the box you can't do anything. Only with 3rd party apps from the marketplace. You should try some of the following and actually try finding the one that suits you best:

Again, I suggest that you search on your own and try before you buy.
