It's great that they have a browser based add-on for oC that allows online editing - but what some people need, and from the sounds of it the OP needs, is the ability to use local MS Office with all of it's features that are undoubtedly missing from the web editors, is a plug-in that allows MS Office apps to interact with oC like it does with SharePoint and OneDrive and ODfB - like it's just a file system extension. You pick an file from oC, it downloads into the local app, you do you edits, and when you save, it saves back to the oC - exactly how it works for them with network shares today.
Anyone know if they are working on such an add-on?
You can do all of this easily with Webdav without any additional add-ons.
How do you make the MS Office apps aware of the interface?
Mount it as a shared drive in Windows. Then anything you read/write from/to it will be written to the remote server.
That defeats the LANless design. But I suppose it's an option. The desire to get away from things that can crawl over your network shares like cryptoware does is extremely high in this IT person's mind.
If you are wanting to get away from Drive Mapping, in this scenario, you will have to change the process that your end-users use, if there are no working Office plugins...
I have not tested this... but there may be a way to integrate ownCloud into (locally installed) Office, just like ODfB, and Sharepoint... Example (https://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?t=10820).

Not really, still LANless, but still using a mapped drive lexicon which we dislike.
You're right, I realized it was still LANless.

I have to look up SSL certification on CentOS 7 now. I've only ever done it on our Barracuda SSL VPN which was just an upload. Here we go

SSL for what? SSL is not a generic thing for an OS. What do you want to put SSL on?

I think you need to look up SSL for Apache if you are trying to encrypt ownCloud. I think someone has a guide on here somewhere about it.

Apache has LetsEncrypt scripts that make it easy.

I think @JaredBusch has it in his 8.2 guide. I think he did self signed though. I'm unsure of how to do this on linux with digicert or something similar

It was a self signed for the example. but I use letsencrypt myself. Some clients using ownCloud have StartSSL certs.
