+== Open Local Office Files in Google Workspace ==
+If you have local Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), or Powerpoint (.pptx) files, you can choose to open them locally in Google Chrome with Sheets, Docs, or Slides. On your computer (macOS or Windows), you can choose to open these file types by default in Google Workspace. This is great if you do not have access to the Microsoft Office suite and just need to view or make quick changes to files.
+== On macOS ==
+Install the [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/office-editing-for-docs-s/gbkeegbaiigmenfmjfclcdgdpimamgkj Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides Chrome Extension] and then register the file types that you want to open with Chrome. You need to follow these directions once per file extension you want to register.
+# Open '''''Finder'''''
+# Select a file (ex. '''''some-sheet.xlsx''''')
+# Press '''''Command + i''''' on your keyboard
+# Change the '''''Open with:''''' option to '''''Google Chrome.app'''''
+# Click '''''Change All...'''''
+# Now all your '''''.xlsx''''' will open with Chrome
+# Repeat for other file types (.xlsx, .docx, .pptx)
+== On Windows 11 ==
