Google Docs was started in 2012
and, at present, has almost 1 billion
users per day. The question may be
asked, what is Google Docs? It
practically is the online version of
Microsoft Word. There is no need for it to
be downloaded on a device and it works
effortlessly. It can be used for work,
school or even just for fun. According to
whatis.techtarget.com, Google Docs can
import, create, edit and update
documents and spreadsheets in various
fonts and file formats, combining text
with formulas, lists, tables, and even
images.
To use Google Docs, go to
docs.google.com and choose either a
blank document or a template document.
A great feature regarding Google Docs is
that it auto saves, so there will be no loss
of documents.
