Create and edit documents in Scalar Office

Make a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file in Drive and edit it online with the team, with earlier versions kept.

1Open an existing document

Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OpenDocument files open in Scalar Office instead of a preview. Select the file, such as a .docx, to open it in the editor.
