Open PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in Paseo's file tabs. Each format gets its own file panel, so the tab shows the document instead of the binary preview placeholder.

PowerPoint slides rendered in a Paseo file tab

  • PDF goes to the platform's PDF viewer through DocumentFrame.
  • Word (.docx, .docm) is converted with docx-preview: headings, runs, tables, images, headers and footers.
  • Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm) is read straight from the workbook parts: one table per sheet, dates and percentages formatted from the cell's number format, merged cells preserved.
  • PowerPoint (.pptx, .pptm) is rendered with pptx-preview: slide layout, shapes, text, tables and charts.

Excel worksheet with two sheets

Converted documents are self-contained HTML pages shown in a sandboxed frame, so a preview never runs script inside Paseo and works with remote daemons.

Word document with headings and a table

Install with paseo plugin install git:apple-ouyang/paseo-office-preview. Paseo 0.13.0 or later is required; no daemon restart is needed.

Legacy binary formats (.doc, .xls, .ppt) are left to Paseo's binary placeholder. Very large decks (rendered markup above 48 MB) are refused with their actual size instead of freezing the window.
