Edit Microsoft Office files locally

In order to edit Microsoft Office documents locally on your computer in the corresponding Microsoft Office Application, you need to install the WebDAV client.
Learn more here: Install the AODocs WebDAV client

The WebDAV works with the following Microsoft Office versions:

• Windows 2007, 2010, 2013 & 2016
• Mac 2011 & 2016

Note:
Since the release 4.1, the Smartbar uses Office URI schemes which means the AODocs Wedbav client is no more necessary for MacOS users (Office URI schemes are automatically registered when Office is installed).
If a MacOS user has issues to edit their files, they can launch the standard Microsoft Office repair tool, which should register the URI scheme.
