Lesson 3
 Google Docs is identical to other word processing applications like
Microsoft Word, Apple iWork, Open Office, Libre Office, etc. Google
Docs is an online free word processor, web based and offered by
Google. Google Docs is a robust real-time collaboration and
document editing and authoring tool. With almost identical
functions and menus in Microsoft Word, Google Docs is widely used
in online jobs because it is free and can let multiple users edit a
document simultaneously. All activities done by any of the
document collaborators can be viewed by the others.
Docs supports several different file types, including .doc, .docx .txt,
.rtf, and .odt, which makes it easy to view and convert Microsoft
Office files directly from Google Drive. You can share and
collaborate with multiple people on the same document, tracking
revisions, changes, and suggestions in real time because Docs is an
online word processor.
