[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sigh.  I presume you're the same person posting all the responses above.  Just go ahead and buy a Chromebook.  You've obviously made up your mind.

I use both Word and Google Docs.  I use Word when it is my preference and I use Google Docs when I need to share the document with other people in my organization.  I cannot even begin to tell you how much I hate using Google Docs because it is so limited but if it is fine for you then go for it.  I am not going to stand in your way!  Enough already![/quote]

No, we're different people. There are numerous people that consider Chromebooks solid for daily tasks. You don't like Google Docs, fine. I assume that's your not used to Google Docs as opposed to it can't do something you need since you haven't provided a specific example of what you need to do but don't see a way to do. Use can use Office which works on a Chromebook either as a web app or as an installed app.[/quote]

I use Google Docs every day multiple times a day for work.  Google Docs have limited functionality and are not as easily usable as Word.  Formatting is not as easy.  You can't run a merge.  Inserting a table is difficult and the tables have less functionality than when you perform the same function in Word.  Inserting graphics or images is more difficult and you cannot format the graphics or images to the same level that you can in Word.

Many of us have posted the same things.  Google Docs is a much more limited version of Word.  If you are okay with those limits then you'll be fine.  Most of us though have higher expectations for our work products.  The only reason to use Google Docs is if you have to share a document and you need multiple people to make edits.  It is a clunky and slow way to do it but it will get the job done.[/quote]
