Word Online

The product is developed by Microsoft. Save the file to your PC or OneDrive cloud. You won’t be able to work without registration. A Microsoft account is required.

Write down the username and password for your Microsoft account. The page will open. Click the Word button.

To create a Word document online for free, click Blank. Open the file located on the PC – “Add”. The service provides access to data located in the cloud.

Work like you would in the Word editor.

How to start using the service?

To start using the Word Online editor, you need a computer with the Internet, any browser of your choice and a Google account. To register an account, follow the instructions:

  • Go to the Word Online home page and wait for the start login form to appear.
  • Click on the link “Create an account”, select the item “For yourself” in the drop-down list, since we need an editor for personal use – for example, for study or work.
  • Enter the user’s first and last name, think of a username using Latin letters and a number – this name will become the mailbox address in the @ gmail.com zone.
  • Come up with and enter a strong password twice – at least eight characters long, including Latin letters, numbers and special characters.
  • Enter your backup email address, it will be used to recover your password.
  • Enter your mobile phone number – it is used to protect the user account.
  • Enter the date of birth and gender – this data will be required when restoring access, if the user changes the phone number and forgets the password from the backup email.
  • Accept the terms of the user agreement by clicking the blue “Agree” button on the next page.

Done – the account has been created, after a few seconds the start page of Word Online will appear on the screen. Bookmark the page so you don’t lose it next time.

You won’t have to enter a password the next time you log in – the browser will remember the authorization and automatically load the editor’s main page. If you need to sign in to your account on a different computer, open the Google homepage and go to the sign in page in the upper right corner. There is a way to do without creating an account, as many already have it – in smartphones and tablets running on the Android operating system. It is also suitable for entering Word Online. In addition, it will provide an entrance to the editor on your phone or tablet, which will help you continue editing documents from where you stopped.

Other online text editors

ONLYOFFICE

ONLYOFFICE is a free word processor with an interface that closely resembles Word Online. Choose it if you prefer to work in familiar conditions and do not want to get used to the new editor.

Immediately after registering for the service, you will be taken to the control panel. Examples of different types of objects are displayed here: presentation, table, and document. To create new files, there is a suitable button in the menu on the left.

ONLYOFFICE Editor looks just like Word – only the most attentive user can notice the differences. From the point of view of functionality, they also have a complete analogy: you can change the font in the text, add pagination, styles for headings, paragraphs, etc. Collaboration with documents is also supported, but you can only open access by link.

Noticeable differences between the editors are, perhaps, on the “Plugins” tab. The following tools are available to you in ONLYOFFICE:

  • integration with WordPress for fast publishing of decorated text on the site.
  • code highlighting – useful if you are writing code in an editor.
  • recognition of text from images.
  • a simple photo editor in which you can crop, rotate pictures, mark them, add text, play with visual settings and effects.
  • character table with display of characters from Unicode.
  • embed a YouTube video from the link.

There are buttons “Speech” and “Synonyms” on the same tab, but when you click on them, nothing happens. Probably, the first option should read the text, and the second should show synonyms for the word. Perhaps they only work in the corporate version of the editor.

To save a Word compatible paper to ONLYOFFICE, do the following:

  • Expand the File menu.
  • Select Download As.
  • Check the DOCX format.

Loaded onto a hard drive, it opens correctly in all versions of Word released after 2007. PDF, ODT, TXT, DOTX, OTT, RTF formats are also supported.

ONLYOFFICE also has a version for corporate use, which, in addition to a text editor, includes a number of applications: mail, CRM, project management, calendar, tools for building a community (blogs, forums, chats). The cost of the product depends on the number of users. For example, for a team of up to 50 people, the annual subscription will cost 1162 euros.

Google Docs

Google Docs is an online editor from Google. It is available for someone with an @ gmail.com account. Unlike ONLYOFFICE, it does not try to be similar to Word Online and has a slightly different, but rather user-friendly interface. Choose it if you use other Google services – for example, Google Drive storage. Google Docs also has a handy Android app that lets you work with text on your smartphone.

All files created in Google Docs are saved to Google Cloud Drive. By default, 15 GB of space is available on it – that’s enough to store millions of text data.

For ease of navigation, the main page of Google Docs displays a list of recent files divided by opening date: “Today”, “Yesterday”, “Last week”, “Last month”, “Earlier”. You can also sort files by modified date or title.

Like Word Online, Google Docs has a template gallery and a Blank File for creating clean documents.

In terms of functionality, Google Docs is noticeably more powerful than Word Online. In fact, it can be seen as a complete replacement for the desktop version of this editor.

A distinctive feature of the Google application is an advanced file version control system. It allows you to see who, when and what changes made to the document, as well as save copies of it under different names.

Collaboration is also conveniently implemented. You can allow other users to view and edit the document by giving them access via email or a public link.

To save a Google document in Word format:

  • Expand the File menu.
  • Highlight the “Download” item.
  • Select “Microsoft Office (DOCX)” from the list.

The downloaded file can be opened and edited in Word 2007 and newer. The formats ODT, RTF, PDF, TXT, EPUB, HTML are also supported.
