"Both Microsoft Word and Google Docs are excellent tools for creating technical documents. Microsoft Word is a standalone application that has many features and functions for creating and editing complex documents. Google Docs is also a robust document creation tool, but it has fewer features than Microsoft Word. One of the advantages of Google Docs is that it resides online and enables the writer to share documents with other project stakeholders so they can view and even edit them. I use both of these tools, selecting the appropriate one based on the parameters of the project and the requirements of the document stakeholders."
