Embedded Files
The Microsoft office apps are a great way to take a Power Point with you to present, finish up a Word document on the go, or look over that Excel spreadsheet one last time before your meeting. But, if you want to be able to edit any of these files, you will need to sign into/create an Office 365 account.
