Google makes it easy for you to edit your documents in Gmail
Google has a sweet surprise for Gmail users. Until now, Gmail users could edit various document files by opening them through Google Drive. Now the company has started to roll out Microsoft Office collaborative features that allow Gmail users to access and edit various documents in the email platform.
The company announced that Gmail users can now open Office files for editing directly from a Gmail attachment. Simply put, when a user receives a Word document as an email attachment, they can open and edit in Docs with just one click while preserving the Word file format. On top of that, users can also reply to the original discussion thread and include the updated file, right from Docs.
Google also announced the rollout of mixed page orientation support in Google Docs. This will allow users to create documents or edit Word files with mixed landscape and portrait pages. The company also said that next year it will add support for inserting images behind text and watermarks on Google Docs, which will give users more flexibility while working.
Finally, Google said it is rolling out a feature that will make it easier for users to transition from Excel to Sheets. This functionality will also allow the coexistence of these tools. Google said it has launched a new macro converter add-on that will help users migrate macros from Excel to Sheets.
