Along with the growth and popularity of Google as an internet search engine, is Google's continuing innovation with free tools and applications that it offers for free. Along with Google maps, Google email and Google Calendar, the internet company now offers a free online word processor and spreadsheet program. Google Documents and Spreadsheets have an interface much like Microsoft Word and Excel, but since you use these programs through your web browser, you can access your documents any where in the world on any computer that is connected to the internet.
