Google Docs vs. Microsoft Word: Which works better for business?:
Have you been thinking of reassessing which word processor your business should standardize on? The obvious choices are the two best known: Microsoft Word and Google Docs. But which is better?
Several years ago, the answer to that would have been easy: Microsoft Word for its better editing, formatting and markup tools; Google Docs for its better collaboration. But both applications have been radically updated since then. Word now has live collaboration tools, and Google has added more sophisticated formatting, editing and markup features to Docs.
TFA requires free registration, but the question is an interesting one: Have Google Docs arrived at parity with, or surpassed, Microsoft Word for business needs? How much work is required to transition existing documents, macros, and workflows?

I must be mad...?
Lots of what I write is shared around with customers and friends.
But I also write notes to myself (my future self) all the time--little reminders of what I did, or how I did something. On the screen it might be the address of a useful webpage that I added to the Wayback Machine for future use--added to the relevant file (more likely to find it this way, although I bookmark it too). In the shop it might be details (on paper) of how I built a specific custom bike wheel (including drilling the blank rim)--convenient for the next time a similar order comes in.
