Microsoft Office comes to Facebook

Inspiration and the need to share documents can strike at any time and in any context – yes, even while looking at pictures of a friend’s new pug on Facebook. You may want to send your friend a spreadsheet containing data you pulled together on organic dog food prices in shops within the Bay area. Lucky you…Microsoft Office is now a part of Facebook’s new messaging system, allowing people to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments with the Office Web Apps directly in Facebook. If you have Office installed on your computer, you will be able to download, edit and save attachments to your computer.

It’s our next step in providing 750 million users worldwide with access to their Office documents across different devices, networks and platforms – now, even on Facebook. Learn more on The Office Blog.
