MS Office File Viewer: Open & Present MS 365 Files Directly in Showell

Sales presentations only work when they are delivered as intended. Animations, transitions, embedded videos, and interactive spreadsheets are often what make your content engaging and effective.

With the MS 365 Office File Viewer, you can view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files natively in Showell.

This means sellers can present Office content exactly as it was created, without losing animations, interactivity, or formatting, all while staying inside Showell.

💡 The MS Office File Viewer is available for Professional and Enterprise plans with MS365 Integration or Editor enabled.

What is the MS Office File Viewer?

The MS 365 Office File Viewer allows you to view Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in their native Microsoft 365 experience, directly within Showell.

Using a simple MS365 viewer toggle in the top navigation bar of each supported file, you can instantly choose how the file is displayed. You can continue using Showell’s optimized view, or switch to the Office viewer when you need the full Office experience.

No downloads. No switching tools. Everything happens inside Showell.

MS Office File Viewer: How it works

By default, Showell converts Office files into PDFs. This ensures fast loading, consistent formatting, and reliable viewing across all devices and platforms.

Using a simple MS365 viewer toggle in the top navigation bar of each supported file, you can switch to the native Office viewer when you need the full Office experience.

  • PowerPoint presentations retain animations and embedded videos

  • Excel files stay interactive, allowing you to scroll, navigate, and explore spreadsheets as intended

  • Word documents display exactly as they were created

You stay in Showell the entire time, while accessing the viewing experience that best fits your use case.

How Sellers Benefit from the MS Office File Viewer

For sellers, the biggest advantage is simple: you can now present Office files the way they were meant to be seen.

  • PowerPoint animations are preserved, which means all the effort that went into building engaging, well-structured presentations finally shows during customer meetings. Slides feel dynamic, not static, helping you tell a better story and keep buyers engaged.

  • Excel files become easier to work with during discussions where data matters. Instead of scrolling through static pages, you can navigate sheets, review details, and move through content naturally.

  • Word documents, such as proposals or agreements, remain clear and correctly formatted when reviewed with customers.

At the same time, Showell native file viewing is still available when speed, offline access, or quick reference is more important. You stay in control and choose the viewing experience that best supports the conversation.

For admins, this means the content they create is delivered as intended. Office files are still converted to PDFs by default for consistency and performance, while sellers can switch to native Office viewing when presentation quality or interactivity matters most.

With the MS 365 Office File Viewer, Showell combines speed and flexibility. You get optimized PDF viewing for everyday use and native Microsoft Office viewing when animations, interactivity, or presentation quality make the difference.

Everything stays in Showell, exactly where sellers need it.
