Need to open Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files without a Microsoft 365 subscription? Polaris Office brings these document types together in one Windows app, with tools for editing, layout, and file conversion.
Word, Sheet, Slide, and PDF files
It opens and saves the usual Office files (Word, Excel and PowerPoint, old and new formats), as well as OpenDocument text, PDF, CSV and plain text; HWP-family formats are also supported in some product versions. The exact format range depends on the product edition.
Word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations can be created or edited in the same app. For spreadsheets, chart settings let users select the specific data range to include, keeping unrelated cells out of a chart.
PDF editing and conversion
PDF tools cover page changes and content insertion: add, copy, or move pages, and place images, text, or hyperlinks in a document. Polaris Office can also convert PDFs to Word, Sheet, or Slide files for further editing.
Presentation and layout tools
Presentation Mode provides pen annotations for emphasizing details during a presentation. Dark Mode changes the editing view, while Print Preview shows page layout before printing.
For document composition, the design library offers templates, and automatic object alignment arranges inserted elements. A Word document can also be inserted into another document without leaving the current editing workflow.
Offline desktop work
The installed desktop edition can run offline without signing in. This supports editing local documents when an internet connection is unavailable; cloud integration depends on the product edition.
