Microsoft Edge's right-click menu or context menu for browser tabs will include a new option called “New Office Tab”. As the name suggests, this Edge option will allow users to open online Microsoft Office applications such as Word, the Power point and Excel.
It also appears that the new Office integration will not be exclusive to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so you will be able to access a regular Microsoft account.
