LEP Supports Google Chrome MS Office Native Doc Viewer

Upon ingestion, LEP will attempt to process and convert compatible files to PDF for ease of review and will maintain and make available for download the native file in the Originals tab of the LEP Doc Viewer. When native review is preferred, Lexbe recommends a Google Chrome add-on that populates the LEP Doc Viewer Originals tab with a native viewer that can open MS Office documents. This is particularly helpful when needing to review Excel and PowerPoint files. The viewer will display these files as they would appear in their native program. For Excel files, this includes multiple sheets and for Powerpoint files this includes the presentation layout with comments and/or notes. There are many advantages to using the Google Chrome MS Office native doc viewer add on: speeds review in native format without having to download file, includes read-only native program functionality and navigation, provides option to download native file directly, contains tab views supported for Excel spreadsheets, and is offered directly by Google in the Chrome browser (compliance standards upheld). This add-on is supported for Google Chrome on Windows and MAC. For more information, see help page here
