How to Work with Microsoft Office Files in Google

Opening, Editing & Downloading Microsoft Office Files with Google: The Off of Office effort will soon complete our transition to Google Workspace for system collaboration and productivity. This is a ministry-wide program that includes Hot Springs associates. 

Microsoft Office will end on March 31. Removing MS Office licenses from your computer will not remove any files, and you can continue accessing them using Google Drive. 

For details and step-by-step instructions on moving, editing and downloading MS Office files with Google Workspace, please reference this Google Tip Sheet

The Off of Office team is also offering live training sessions throughout the month to demonstrate how to work effectively with MS Office files in Google Workspace. These sessions include expert-level walkthroughs, up-to-date resources, and opportunities to ask questions. Sign up for an upcoming training or review a recent recording here.
