                     Google Docs

                     Google Docs  is  a free online  word  processing  program. It  is  similar to any  word  processor, like
                     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 function properly. It works for both
                     individual files and folders. You can also use the free templates available with Google Docs. To open a

                     You can easily open/import your Word documents in Google Docs. It might not support more
                     advanced  features  and  formatting  of  some  Word  documents.  When  you  import/upload a  Word
                     document, you can use either Google Docs (docs.google.com) or Drive (drive.google.com) to upload

                     easy uploads.
