After comparing Google Doc and Word, I much prefer using Microsoft Word. Word has more options and they are displayed on the screen. Whereas, Google Doc has limited options available. Although, I preferred their spell checks, hyperlink, and creating document with a group.

Inserting images with Word allows me to choose the many styles, corrections, and effects. It also includes the bibliographies, citations, footnotes, endnotes, tables of contents, and figures. Information can be entered in the bibliography section and it will set up as APA documents for you. Also, Word has more options and formulas to insert equation into the document. Word automatically separates the text into two sections under Columns. Google Docs, you have to go to Insert Table tab, cut and paste the text into the table, and then you have to make the line invisible. This is more work. Table of Contents entering is easier in Word than Google Doc. It has the setup ready for use.

Word allows multiple page orientation by going into Page Layout, margins, custom margins, select portrait or landscape, and applies to selected text. Google Doc does not allow this task at this time. As for formatting bullets, Word allows me to define new bullets, multilevel lists, and new list styles. Mail merge has an option to display its process step by step on the right side screen. Whereas, Google Doc you have to go through Google Apps Script or look for a template. Not only does Word have autocorrect, there is also an option for math autocorrect which allows you to correct words into math symbols.

Overall, I like more options and fewer steps to create my documents. That is why, I chose Word over Google Doc.
