You can open Word documents right in Aktenplatz – not just view them, but also edit them. The built-in editor offers the familiar features of a word processor, without any extra software.

1. Open a Word file

Switch to the files view using the file icon in the top bar and open the .docx file with a double-click. The editor opens with the document’s content.

2. Edit text

Use the toolbar to format your text as usual: font and size, bold/italic/underline, colours, alignment, lists and styles (Normal, Heading, etc.). More features are available via the menu tabs Insert, Layout, References, Collaboration, Protection and View. Changes are saved automatically.

3. Switch between editing and viewing

In the top right you switch modes via the Editing selector – for example view only, edit, or track changes. This lets you work safely even in shared documents.
