If you are a member of a designated group and all the members want to use an online word processor, then you should have a look at Google Docs. It is an online word processor that is accessible by members of a particular designated group. Using Google Docs, you can group members into specific groups and set up projects for them so that each member of the ’specific group’ gets access to the paper which is created for their group. They can write and or edit the paper from anywhere in the world, all the need is internet connection. This gives all the group members the freedom to be where ever they want, do what they want and also at the same time work or keep track of what’s happening on the project with ease.
If you have used Microsoft word (desktop version), you’ll notice that Google Docs has many similar features as Microsoft Word. Some of the common features are you can select a font, center your title, create a title page, check your spelling, and write a paper exceeding 100 pages of text!
You’ll also be able to trace any changes made to your paper. The editing page shows you what changes have been made and it tells you who made the changes. This cuts down on the funny business!
Here’s how to get started:
1. Go to Google Docs and set up an account.
You can use any email address that you already have; you don’t have to set up a Gmail account.
2. When you sign in to Google Docs with your ID, you will arrive at the Welcome Page.
3. Look below the “Google Docs & Spreadsheets” log to find the New Document link and select it. This link takes you to the word processor. You can either begin writing a paper or you can choose to add group members from here.
