HTML page embedded Google Docs Viewer / Office Web Apps Viewer for intranet files

Google Docs Viewer / Office Web Apps Viewer processes file on Google / Microsoft server. It firstly downloads file to the server and so if file is located within my private protected internal network of my organization which Google / Microsoft has no access to then it will not work.
<iframe src='https://docs.google.com/viewer?embedded=true&url=[INTRANET_OFFICE_FILE_URL]' />
<iframe src='https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=[INTRANET_OFFICE_FILE_URL]' />
Is information above correct?
Are there any viewers which can work with intranet files?
I'm interested in viewing Word / Excel files (not PDF - for which I can use <embed /> tag).
Thanks
It is possible to install Office Web Apps Server locally.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/webappsserver/office-web-apps-server-overview
Office Web Apps Server provides a page at the address http://OfficeWebAppsServername/op/generate.aspx that you can use to generate links to publicly available documents that have UNC or URL addresses. When a user selects a generated URL, Online Viewers enable Office Web Apps Server to get the file from its location and then render it by using Office Web Apps. The user can view the Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file in a browser with Office features intact. Formatting and layout in Word documents are preserved, data in Excel workbooks can be filtered and sorted, and animations play in PowerPoint presentations. However, be aware that Online Viewers allow users to view but not edit files, and Online Viewers can't open any files that require authentication.

Office Add-in not available in Powerpoint online store

#Office-Store,
We have an issue with our O365 add-in. It isn't showing on the Powerpoint online store (It is showing on all other supported products).
After investigations we are assuming the issue is with the store hence we are reaching out for assistance.
We have ran the manifest validation tool and it is showing that we are supported with powerpoint online. See products supported in following link: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA104381889?src=Manufacturing&tab=Overview.
When we site load the add-ins manifest it is also working as expected for Powerpoint online. We have seen this online add-in working previously.
These are the requirements in our manifest:
<Hosts>
<Host Name="Presentation" />
<Host Name="Document" />
</Hosts>
<Requirements>
<Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.1">
<Set Name="DialogApi" MinVersion="1.1"/>
<Set Name="ImageCoercion" MinVersion="1.1"/>
</Sets>
</Requirements>
Since the Vidigami Add-in is available for desktop applications (Powerpoint and Word) as well as Word online we expect the Add-in to be available in the Powerpoint Online store.

Onenote2007 notebooks are read-only in Onenote2016 unless I convert them

I have a stack of onenote2007 notebooks that I'd rather not convert to onenote2016.
Opening one of these onenote2007 notebooks in onenote2016 results in every section being read-only.
I searched the internets and found this article:
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Upgrade-to-OneNote-2016-for-Windows-d22943e9-4c4e-4b4c-bbeb-2aa533e71ea1
The article says:
OneNote 2016 can read notebooks created with either OneNote 2016 or 2013 and it can also open, view, and edit any notebook files saved in the older OneNote 2010 and 2007 file formats.
If you’re upgrading from OneNote 2007 to OneNote 2016, your existing notebooks in the 2007 format won’t be automatically converted. This is to make sure you can use OneNote 2016 for all the notes you’re currently working in, including collaborative projects with people whose shared notebooks are saved in the older format. If you're still sharing notes with people using OneNote 2007, postpone upgrading the notebook file format until all others have upgraded to OneNote 2010 or later.
So, it sounds like I should be able to edit a onenote2007 notebook in onenote2016. But it shows up as readonly.
Things i've tried
Checked my office2016 is activated.
Tried to open the notebook from a \\ path. Same read only problem.
Tried to open the notebook from a C:\ path. Same read only problem.
Ensured the path to the notebook is not read-only by the OS.
I converted a section of a test notebook to onenote2016 and I could now edit that one section, but not the others (as they hadn't been converted)
I've checked the options for onenote2016 and couldn't find anything.
Thank you in advance.

To check which file format a notebook is saved in:
In OneNote 2016, open a notebook, and look at the title bar of the OneNote window. If [Compatibility Mode] is shown next to the notebook name, then the notebook is saved in the older 2007 format.
In OneNote 2010, choose File > Info. Next to the name of the notebook you want to check, choose the Settings button, and then choose Properties. In the Notebook Properties dialog box, look at the Default Format to see what format the notebook is saved in.
Guess you'll have to export each files by hand to the 2016 format :/

I upgraded OneNote 2007 to OneNote 2016 and this is how i fixed it.
Right click on the notebook.
Select Properties
Select the button that says "Convert to 2010-2016"
Done!
Thanks!

add interactivity checkbox missing in excel 2010

I'm trying to publish an excel file to the web and I want this file to be interactive for everyone.
After searching Google I saw that in the old office you could do it by enabling the "add interactivity" checkbox that is now missing in office 2010.
does anyone know how I can make my published excel file (now *.htm) be changed by any user through his Web browser?
Unfortunately, the capability of publishing interactive web pages was removed after Excel 2007. You will not be able to accomplish this using Excel 2010.
Have a look here for more information.

Internet Explorer 7.0 - force open office docs (XLS, PPT etc) - in browser window

using: XP, IE 7.0, Office 2010, working within a company INTRAnet
HomePage created in Word & saved as html, with links to other Office files
I want these office files to open within the browser frame, but no matter what I try (including the target frame settings in MS word..edit hyperlinks) the files launch into new Excel, Powerpoint, or Word windows. Any way to fix this ?
fyi ...
I achieved the desired behavior on my personal machine by setting WindowsExplorer==>FolderOptions==>Advanced==> (pick XLS) ==> check "Browse in Same Window", but I can't control that setting on other users' machines. I can fiddle with the HTML and insert VBA if nec, but am not in control of user settings/registry settings.
Right, a few bits of information:
IE9 is not and will not be released for Windows XP, so your specifications must be wrong
Office documents are not web-compatible file types, they will not open up in a browser
If you wish to provide Office documents via an intranet, they will either have to be:
a. Downloaded and opened in the appropriate Office program
b. Accessed using Office Web Apps
c. Similarly setup files on Google Docs
d. Setup a SharePoint Server
e. Converted to PDFs or HTML form
