I wouldn't trust MS, of course, but if you do (??):
There is an online service described here:
https://support.office.com/en-us/articl ... 61A104544EThat's to the effect that you can use the query-URL below to get "office documents" visualised in your browser.
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=
Of course, you need in addition to append the original URL from where your document is accessible. Regarding the needs of URL syntax some special characters must be given in the "%-escaped" notation there. The "%3A%2F%2F" e.g. means "://" in the URL of my example file:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
http%3A%2F%2Fpsilosoph.de%2FFreeOfficeForums%2FMSonlineServiceTest.odt
Glued together this gives the URL (with query part):
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=http%3A%2F%2Fpsilosoph.de%2FFreeOfficeForums%2FMSonlineServiceTest.odt
You may test it by copying it into the URL line of your browser. (Without a line break, of course.)
Edit1:
As I meanwhile tested with Firefox you don't need the mentioned encoding there, at least in simple cases. For the example above also
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=http://psilosoph.de/FreeOfficeForums/MSonlineServiceTest.odt
works.
On Windows 10: LibreOffice 7.0 and older versions, PortableOpenOffice 4.1.7 and older, StarOffice 5.2
