Office Attachment Viewer 是一个 Obsidian 插件:在 Obsidian 中点击 vault 里的 Word、PowerPoint、Excel 附件,即可直接预览,无需安装 Office 或任何外部程序。全部解析与渲染均在本地完成,不联网、不上传任何数据。
- 插件 ID:
maic-for-office - 仅支持查看(只读),不支持编辑;暂不支持旧版二进制格式(
.doc / .ppt / .xls)
功能
| 格式 | 打开方式 | 预览能力 |
|---|---|---|
.docx | 点击附件 | 标题 / 段落 / 字符样式、真实编号的列表、表格(合并单元格、底纹)、行内与独立图片(EMF/WMF 自动转 PNG)、浮动图片环绕、超链接、页眉页脚、目录行、脚注标记 |
.pptx | 点击附件 | 幻灯片画布 + 缩略图侧栏,支持形状、图片、表格、图表、连接线、阴影、渐变等 |
.xlsx | 点击附件 | 多工作表切换、冻结表头的表格网格,显示数值与公式计算结果 |
命令面板提供「Reload active office view」;设置页可调整幻灯片适宽与表格行列上限。
安装
手动安装:从 Releases 下载 main.js、manifest.json、styles.css,放入 <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/maic-for-office/,然后在 设置 → 第三方插件 中启用 Office Attachment Viewer。
上架社区插件库后可直接在插件市场搜索安装。
已知限制
- 仅限桌面版:渲染引擎依赖 Node.js,Obsidian 移动端不可用。
- Word 预览为结构化保真排版(非逐像素分页);浮动图片用近似方式环绕排版;源文档中失效的图片引用(外部链接图)不渲染。
- PowerPoint 预览的字体度量使用启发式估算,个别字体下的换行位置可能与 PowerPoint 略有差异。
- Excel 预览显示值与公式结果,不含单元格样式、图表与透视表;超大表格按设置页的行列上限截断。

English
Office Attachment Viewer is an Obsidian plugin that lets you preview Word, PowerPoint, and Excel attachments directly inside Obsidian — no Office installation, no external apps. All parsing and rendering happen locally; nothing ever leaves your machine.
- Plugin ID:
maic-for-office - Viewing only (read-only); legacy binary formats (
.doc / .ppt / .xls) are not supported.
Features
| Format | How to open | Preview |
|---|---|---|
.docx | Click the attachment | Headings / paragraph / character styles, lists with real numbering, tables (merged cells, fills), inline & floating images (EMF/WMF auto-converted to PNG), hyperlinks, headers & footers, TOC lines, footnote marks |
.pptx | Click the attachment | Slide canvas + thumbnail sidebar: shapes, pictures, tables, charts, connectors, shadows, gradients |
.xlsx | Click the attachment | Sheet tabs, sticky-header grid, values and formula results |
The command palette offers "Reload active office view"; settings expose slide fit-width and sheet row/column limits.
Installing
Manual: download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release, put them into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/maic-for-office/, then enable Office Attachment Viewer under Settings → Community plugins.
Once listed in the community plugin directory, it will be installable directly from the in-app marketplace.
Known limitations
- Desktop only: the rendering engine relies on Node.js, unavailable on Obsidian Mobile.
- Word preview is structured-faithful, not pixel-perfect pagination; floating images use approximate CSS wrapping; broken image references in the source file are skipped.
- PowerPoint preview uses heuristic font metrics; line breaks may differ slightly from PowerPoint for some fonts.
- Excel preview shows values and formula results only — no cell styling, charts, or pivot tables; oversized sheets are capped by the settings limits.
Development
npm install
npm run build -w @maic/obsidian-plugin # output: apps/obsidian-plugin/dist/
npm run test -w @maic/obsidian-plugin # smoke tests
Set the OBSIDIAN_TEST_VAULT environment variable and builds auto-install into that vault, with --watch incremental rebuilds supported.
