Integration of Excel, Word and PowerPoint in FrontFace Playlists with Office 365 and SharePoint | mirabyte Blog
Summary
If you work a lot with Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and eventually, even use SharePoint as your intranet platform, there is often an inevitable need to integrate such files also in digital signage playlists or on interactive kiosk terminals. FrontFace also enables the direct integration of EXE files in playlists and touch menus via the media object “External Application”. This way, the Office applications can be directly integrated and the file to be opened can be set in command line. To do this, the file (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) must first be stored in a SharePoint document library or on OneDrive. If you now open the link created in this way in a browser, the file appears in the respective online version of the Office application: Often, however, only the display of the file contents itself is desired and therefore the display with the menu ribbon of the Office application is not what you want.
