oday’s predominant word processors are Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect. MS Word is also offered as a web-based application or Saas (Software-as-a-Service).  However, there is a newer type of document collaboration, where numerous people have access to the same document so that they can all contribute and monitor changes made by others.  These types of applications are becoming more common.  For example, Google has begun to offer its own Google Word Processor called “Google Docs” — which allows users to share and collaborate on documents.

What does it matter which type you use in your business?  Here’s one comparison between the Google and Microsoft web products.  But there’s much more when it comes to the battle between WORD v. GOOGLE DOCS.
