                 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

                 advanced  features  and  formatting  of  some  Word  documents.  When  you  import/upload a  Word

                 easy uploads.
