   Read it. Headings, paragraphs, tables, images and every sheet of a workbook are shown.

Questions about Word & Excel viewer

Is this the same as opening it in Word?

No, and the page says so above the document rather than below it. You get the content: what it says, under which heading, in which table. You do not get the page layout — margins, tab stops, headers, footers, footnotes. For a faithful copy you still need Word, or a PDF exported from it.

Why is PowerPoint missing?

Because a slide deck is not a stream of text but a collection of positioned boxes, each with coordinates, layers and rotation. We could pull out a readable list of the words, but that is not the presentation — and calling that a PowerPoint viewer would mislead you. When we can show slides properly, it will appear here.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The file is unzipped and read without being transmitted, the same way every other tool on this site works. That matters for the documents people usually need this for: contracts, payslips and reports sent by someone who assumed you had Office.
