GOOGLE DOCS

                  Microsoft Word. The only difference is that this is a cloud-based program. So, the program does
                  not reside on your computer. It was started by Google in 2006 as part of its complete office suite.
                  The other programs in the cloud-based suite are Sheets, which is similar to any spreadsheet
                  program like Excel, and Slides, which is similar to any presentation software like PowerPoint. You
                  can access Google Docs from all devices and platforms; all you need is an internet connection
                  and a web browser. If you own a smartphone, ensure it has the necessary app for Google Docs to
