Extension Usage Instructions

This Extension provides several options for handling/opening Microsoft Office Documents. In the default mode you can only open the documents via opening the context menu on a hyperlink on a web page, which points to either a Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Visio file.

You can however use several other options via the Extension menu (click on the icon)

The usable options are the following:
=> activate a link history
Each time a document link is opened a history entry is created.
(The history can be accessed via the extension menu or via the context menu
action)

=> Choose a custom action for a left mouse click on a document link
- Open online
- Open in protected mode (Desktop application)
- Open in edit mode (Desktop application)
- Download file
- ...

=> Choose a custom copy to clipboard action for the option popover, the extension menu and the history/favorites page

=> Create Favorites from your history

=> Access Favorites and your recent history (up to the last 20 entries)

Context Menu Actions on the page

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The extension settings are synced to your google account
