Google-drive – How to edit a docx-document received in Gmail online on Google Docs

document-managementgoogle-drive

I received a docx-document on my Gmail. I clicked "view", and then the "Save in Google Docs" button.

Now in Google Docs, I can only view the document but not edit it.

How do I edit the document in Google Docs? Can I transformit to a similar format and then edit it? how?

Best Answer

According to the Official GMail Blog you should be able to do this already:

Just click the "View" link at the bottom of a Gmail message and the viewer will take it from there. If you decide you want to edit the file, clicking "Edit online" will open it in Google Docs, or you can download it to your desktop from there.
