Microsoft Word has been the go-to choice for word processors for as long as we can remember. Whether it was for a formal high school paper, notes during a college course or a business presentation, everyone flocked to Word because it was the only high-performance word processor that was available. Plus, it came preinstalled on many workstation PCs. However, this is changing. Google Docs is a suitable alternative that can be shared and synced easily. Oh yes, and it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n
The question that everyone is asking is why buy something when you can get a similar product for free? Well, the answer isn\u2019t quite that simple.<\/p>\n
Word\u2019s features trump the simple interface of Google Docs, hands down. Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over three decades, and there are just some features that can\u2019t be topped. At the same time, Google Docs offers documents, presentations and spreadsheets. It even has some drawing tools, voice typing and video calling. What the average person needs is neatly tucked into Google Docs.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s break down the different features of both Word and Docs and determine which one comes out on top.<\/p>\n
There is no clear winner when it comes to Microsoft Word and Google Docs. It really depends on what type of work you\u2019re planning to do and whether or not Word is required by your employer. If you use Word at work, you\u2019ll probably want to use it at home on your workstation PC as well. On the other hand, if all you need is a basic word processor, you\u2019ll love the lightweight feel of Google Docs that allows you to share and edit in real time and not pay a dime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
