harmon.ie supports editing Office documents with Office Online, and editing all types of documents with a local editor.

Editing with Office Online works in tablets only. It is more secure, as the SharePoint document is not saved to the local device, and it does not require installing an editor application on your device.

2. If you are editing with Docs To Go™: use the Edit action to open the document for editing.
