3.12. Open in Office configuration

With the Open in Office feature, you are able to easily edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations in the native applications installed on your client, without keeping a local copy.

By default, there are 4 labels displayed for corresponding file types as below:

Label	File types
Open in Word	docx, doc, docm, dot, dotm, dotx.
Open in Excel	xltx, xltm, xlt, xlsx, xlsm, xlsb, xls, xll, xlam, xla.
Open in Powerpoint	pptx, pptm, ppt, ppsx, ppsm, pps, ppam, ppa, potx, potm, pot
Open on Desktop	Non-MS Office files, such as Open Document text files (odp, ods, odt, and more) or archive files (zip, rar, war, and more).

As an administrator, you can easily configure the file types associated with the application named as in "Open in Word", and set a new label via exo.properties. See Configuration overview if you have not created this file.

exo.remote-edit.$CATEGORY=$SET_OF_FILETYPES
exo.remove-edit.$CATEGORY.label=$LABEL

Replace $CATEGORY with any text as you want, but it should represent the application in correspondence to the file types defined in $SET_OF_FILETYPES.
Replace $LABEL with the application label that will be displayed in the UI, for example "Word" or "MS Word".

Here are some examples:

Changing the default labels from "Open in Word", "Open in Excel", and "Open in Powerpoint" into "Open in MS Word", "Open in MS Excel" and "Open in MS Powerpoint":

#MS Word
exo.remote-edit.word=docx,doc,docm,dot,dotm,dotx
exo.remote-edit.word.label=MS Word

#MS Excel
exo.remote-edit.excel=xltx,xltm,xlt,xlsx,xlsm,xlsb,xls,xll,xlam,xla
exo.remote-edit.excel.label=MS Excel

#MS Powerpoint
exo.remote-edit.powerpoint=pptx,pptm,ppt,ppsx,ppsm,pps,ppam,ppa,potx,potm,pot
exo.remote-edit.powerpoint.label=MS Powerpoint

Adding a new label "Open in LibreOffice" for some Open Document Text file types:

exo.remote-edit.libreoffice=odp,ods,odt
exo.remote-edit.libreoffice.label=LibreOffice

Setting a new label "Open in Writer" for some both Word and Open Document Text file types:
```
exo.remote-edit.writer=docx,doc,odm,odt
exo.remote-edit.writer.label=Writer
```
