Microsoft Word is no longer the only quality word processing software available today. Thanks to the evolution of technology, you've got plenty of equally great alternatives. Prominent among them is Google Docs.

As the name suggests, this is a Google text editing, editing and editing product. It provides almost all the basic features of Microsoft Word. If you need a completely free, cross-platform text editor, then Google Docs is the perfect choice.

Google Docs gives you a lot of useful features. In addition to aligning, changing fonts, checking spelling, Google Docs also allows you to rotate the text page to landscape whenever needed. Rotating documents horizontally is great when you want to see charts and tables at a clearer size.
