Using Office 365 Online

Everyone here at eFileCabinet has access to Office 365 online. To access it, please sign on to https://www.office.com/

Once you are logged into office.com you can create new Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents. Here are detailed instructions for doing this.

Once you have created your document, you can store it in Rubex and edit it using the Microsoft Office Addin for Rubex.

Requesting Microsoft Office Desktop Apps

If your position requires you to have Office Desktop Apps, you can request a license from IT by following this procedure:

  • Email ithelp@efilecabinet.com and CC your manager to the email.
    • In your email, please set the subject as “Request for Microsoft Office Desktop Apps”
    • In the body of the email please explain the task that you need to perform in the desktop app that cannot be performed in the online version.
  • Once we get manager approval, we will send over the request to Eric.
  • Once Eric approves the request, we will activate your license and you can download the software by logging into office.com with your existing account.
