Opening an existing Word, Excel or PowerPoint file
You open a file that's already in your Nextcloud with a single click on its name. Euro-Office then automatically opens the right component: the word processor for a document, the spreadsheet editor for a spreadsheet, the presentation editor for slides and the PDF editor for a PDF.

Adding a file from your computer
Is the file still on your computer? Drag it into the Nextcloud window, or click New and then Upload files. Once it's uploaded, click the name to open it.
Opening without editing
Just want to take a quick look? You still click the file as usual. You can read it without changing anything; as long as you don't type anything, the file stays as it was. If someone has shared the file with you with read only rights, it opens in reading view and you won't be able to make any changes.
Will my file be converted?
No. A docx stays a docx, an xlsx stays an xlsx and a pptx stays a pptx. Euro-Office works directly within the file. This means colleagues using Microsoft Office can simply keep opening the file as normal.
