Karissa Bell  says, “Gmail just made it easier to edit Microsoft Office documents from within your inbox.

Google updated Gmail with a new feature that allows users to automatically open and edit Office files with Google Drive.

“We realize that as a Docs user, you still sometimes have to work with different file types, so we often launch updates to make it a little smoother for you,” the company wrote on Google+. “It’s now even easier for you to edit Office files where you often come across them — as attachments in your email.”

When Office files are emailed as attachments, Gmail now includes an “Edit with Google Docs” option. Selecting this option automatically converts the document and opens it in Docs, Sheets or Slides”.
