Migrate from Microsoft Office to Automo
Drop a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx file. Automo reads it on your device. After sign-up it opens in the matching editor: documents, sheets or slides.
What moves across
- Word .docx files, with headings, lists and tables the document editor can keep
- Excel .xlsx workbooks the spreadsheet editor can open
- PowerPoint .pptx decks, slide by slide, in the design editor
- The teaser of the file you dropped, before you create an account
What does not
- Macros, VBA, ActiveX and files that only desktop Office can run
- OneDrive sharing, comments in the Microsoft cloud and IRM
- Fonts that exist only on the machine that made the file
Export from Microsoft Office
- In Word, Excel or PowerPoint choose File, then Save As, and pick .docx, .xlsx or .pptx
- Drop that file in the bay on this page. It is read on your device
- Create a free Automo account. The file opens in the matching Automo editor
