I did not have a difficult time with Microsoft Word or Google Doc. This was my first
time creating something on Google Doc, and I found it to be fairly simple to use and quite
similar to Microsoft Word. lthough I do not !now much about the functions of Google Doc, I
feel that Microsoft Word "the #$%& edition' has many more features and can become comple(
when it comes to certain things. I had no trouble with either system, e(cept for with Google
Doc, I had a hard time copying and pasting the image. I figured out that I had to save the image
to my computer in order to upload it to the document. In Microsoft Word, images can easily be
pasted onto the document.
