It is possible to configure the web-client to generate all Download URLs as WebDav links - you can then use any WebDav compliant application to directly edit content - such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

How to override configuration in the web-client is explained here:

You'll want to override this section to read:


   <config>
      <client>
         <!– the type of edit link to use, NOTE: inline editable will always take precedence –>
         <!– can be: http|webdav|cifs –>
         <edit-link-type>webdav</edit-link-type>
      </client>
   </config>
